The main differences between a military bugle and a posthorn are their shape and purpose. Coiled in a circle like miniature horn..., the posthorn literally gets its name from its association with the postal service... Posthorns signaled the arrival of mail coaches to secure "unhindered and speedy attention, "... They were also used to alert travelers to road conditions, to alert toll keepers of express mail coaches that required free passage, and to notify innkeepers of passengers in need of lodging. In addition to its primary signal function, the posthorn was used to perform melodies.... To serve this more melodic function, some posthorns were fitted with a single vent hole as well as keys and later, valves.

In hindered settling by contrast, particles are spaced so closely that the displaced liquid is confined as in a pipe and the friction rises as the velocity fields around the individual particles interfere.
