Salchow + toe loop
Salchow (LBI, off the edge) straight into a toe loop (RBO, off the pick), 2 rotations in all.
Also called 1S+1T. Other names.

The Salchow swings off a back inside edge and lands on the back outside edge like almost every jump here. Landing it with the knee bent and the free leg held back leaves the speed and the balance for the next jump.
The Salchow lands RBO and the toe loop takes off from RBO: one edge, held, with no step or turn on it. In a jump sequence the skater may hop or step between the jumps; in a combination there is nothing between them.
The toe loop is the usual second jump. The landing edge is already its takeoff, so the free foot reaches back, the toe goes in behind, and the pick gives the lift that the remaining speed cannot.
Derived
The Salchow takes off LBI off the edge and lands RBO; the toe loop takes off from that same edge off the pick and lands RBO. 2 rotations in all, written 1S+1T on a protocol sheet.
Made of the Salchow and the toe loop. Nothing here is stored on the page beyond the two jumps and the count.
A skater who rotates clockwise takes off RBI and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
