A 3-engine Cordership is a c/12 diagonal spaceship, specifically a Cordership consisting of three switch engines. Shown in the infobox is the first example that was discovered by Paul Tooke on January 12, 2004. It was the only known Cordership of this type until September 15, 2020, when wwei23 discovered several new ones with different timings between three engines. The rest of this article only deals with Tooke's original 3-engine Cordership.

It was once the Cordership that used the fewest number of known possible switch engines, although the 4-engine Cordership is smaller in terms of minimum population. Later, both were surpassed by 2-engine Cordership in 2017.

Reactions

As found by Jason Summers, the 3-engine Cordership can easily be destroyed by three eater 1s and four blocks, as shown to the left below. David Bell discovered in 2005 that the 3-engine Cordership can turn a lightweight spaceship 90 degrees with a spark similar to the one from twin bees shuttle, as shown to the right.

The spark from 3-engine Cordership can also reflect a glider, which was used in the original 269-cell form of sawtooth 260.

Synthesis and related constructions

A 15-glider synthesis was found early on and used in several constructions, including a period-690 gun (based on period-690 glider gun) and a period-240 c/2 orthogonal rake, both of which were published on January 19, 2004.

In 2009, Dave Greene discovered a glider synthesis for upgrading a switch engine to a wing, which can be repeated to form the complete Cordership. Adam P. Goucher then built a Herschel conduit to convert a glider into a 3-engine Cordership.

In March 2017, thanks to Luka Okanishi's discovery of a three-glider synthesis for a switch engine, the minimal recipe for a 3-engine Cordership was reduced to 11 gliders.
