so, you have a combinator with 2 Inputs and one Output and Name the Inputs iron_a, iron_b or solid_fuel_a, solid_fuel_b etc and then you have the Option to say for each Signal type (each letter, number, item...) you define Signal_out:= Signal_a * Signal_b. The "*" in the last equation can of Course be replaced by any other in game Operation (-,min,max,/) (+ is not really useful as it is the Basic way factorio adds Signals)
