:101: (p5)  Found by Achim Flammenkamp in August 1994.  The name was
   suggested by Bill Gosper, noting that the {phase} shown below
   displays the period in binary.

:1-2-3: (p3)  Found by Dave Buckingham, August 1972. This is one of only
   three essentially different p3 {oscillator}s with only three cells in
   the {rotor}.  The others are {stillater} and {cuphook}.

:Achim's p144: (p144)  This was found (minus the blocks shown below)
   on a cylinder of width 22 by Achim Flammenkamp in July 1994.  Dean
   Hickerson reduced it to a finite form using {figure-8}s the same day.
   The neater finite form shown here - replacing the figure-8s with
   blocks - was found by David Bell in August 1994.  See {factory} for
   a use of this oscillator.
