Burloaferimeter is a period 7 oscillator that was found by David Buckingham in 1972. In terms of its 28 cells, it is tied with the two unnamed oscillators 28P7.1 and 28P7.2 as the smallest known period 7 oscillator.[1] In terms of its 10×11 bounding box, it wins outright. Despite its name, it does not contain a loaf or loafer.
