Herschel receiver

Herschel receiver is a pattern that was found by Paul Callahan in 1996, as part of the first stable glider reflector. Used as a receiver, it converts two parallel input gliders (with path separations of 2, 5, or 6) to an R-pentomino, which is then converted to a Herschel by one of two known mechanisms (the first of which was found by David Buckingham in 1972 and 1996, and the second by Stephen Silver in October 1997). The version shown here uses Buckingham's R-to-B-heptomino converter followed by his B-to-Herschel converter.
