It consists of two caber tossers with CC semi-Snarks (period multipliers) for timing, which activate and deactivate two toggle rake guns.
The gliders emitted by those rakes annihilate on the diagonal while the rakes are eaten by a pair of 2c/5 orthogonal spaceship. All the rakes and gliders are destroyed before the next cycle.
