For example, in the 4-block twin bees shuttle, the entire configuration appears reflected across an orthogonal line that passes through the center of cells. These cells must necessarily oscillate at half the period (23 instead of 46) due to the reaction passing through them twice as often. This creates a gutter-like line of lower-period cells (hence "gutteroid" or "gutroid") where this happens. Were the line of time symmetry through the edges/vertices of cells, these lower period cells would not occur.
