RR56H is a converter found by Dave Buckingham on September 18, 1996,[1] and one of the three known blockic (and consequently Spartan) conduits. It accepts an R-pentomino as input and produces an output Herschel 56 ticks later with an extra glider to the southwest. In the pattern shown in the infobox, a ghost Herschel marks the output location.
The first natural glider from the output is required to clean up a leftover blinker, making the repeat time as high as 113. Moving the southernmost block three cells down removes both the blinker and the extra glider.
Below is a p337 double-barrelled gun that uses this conduit twice.
