B60

B60 is a Herschel conduit discovered by Michael Simkin in 2015 using his search program, CatForce.[1] It is one of three known Blockic elementary conduits. After 60 ticks, it produces a Herschel rotated 180 degrees at (-6,-10) relative to the input. It can most easily be connected to another B60 conduit, producing a closed loop, the Simkin glider gun or Simkin's p60.

If the first natural glider is not removed, the FNG will obstruct the next Herschel, increasing the repeat time to 43. Assuming effective removal of the FNG, B60 can be overclocked to p35.
