Pre-pulsar shuttle 26 is a period-26 pre-pulsar shuttle oscillator discovered by David Buckingham on January 18, 1983 with an alternate stabilization using beehives rather than blinkers.[1] Its original form was the first period-26 oscillator to be found. It is composed of four 14-generation pre-pulsar shuttle mechanisms that use a blinker stabilization found by Noam Elkies on April 22, 1997,[2] as well as a central 12-generation pre-pulsar shuttle mechanism composed of four beacons. It was the smallest known period-26 oscillator until the discovery of the p26 glider shuttle.
