The duplication only occurs once #D every 420 steps, and in other cases, the glider either passes through or #D gets destroyed without hurting the period-20 oscillators. Shown below is a #D period-840 gun that illustrates two other reactions as well, namely the #D 3-cell glider eater, used here to get rid of gliders that pass through, #D and a period-8 oscillator that thins period-4n streams down to period-8n #D streams. #D #D The glider to the left is the one that escapes. It is just below the #D period-8 filter. The one headed 60 degrees above horizontal passes #D through the duplication device, triggering the duplication. #D #D Paul Callahan, November 1997 #L 65.A$64.A.A$65.4A$66.A$66.A$67.A$65.3A$66.A.A$66.3A5.AA$61.AA5.AA4.A$ #L 62.A6.A14.A$62.AA18.3A$63.A20.A$84.AA$83.AA.A$63.A18.AA$63.A17.AA.A$ #L 63.A..A14.A.3A$63.A18.AA$64.A8.AA8.A$75.A$AA74.A$A76.A$71.AA..A$70.3A$ #L 69.AA.A11.A3.AA$69.A.3A11.4A.A$70.A.A11.3A.A.A$70.AA.AA3.3A6.AA.AA$70. #L A.AA6.3A6.AA.A$72.A7.A.A7.A$81.5A$80.AA3.A$82.5A$82.A.A$85.A
