Titanic toroidal traveler is a superstring with a 6-cell repeating segment that was first described in Lifeline Volume 4. The front part repeats with period 16, but the detached back part is a replicator, and replicates at 7c/40.
A similar situation arises when the twin bees shuttle is iterated on a cylinder of width 12.
