Why is this yl144 when the period is actually 288?

the "Constellation=producing switch engine" is commonly known as the glider producing switch engine.

This is the usual form of the Corderman Switch-Engine. It occurs naturally,BUT is extremely rare.Most efforts to stabilize the raw 8-bit engine produce this puffer. A 10-bit pattern was found that in over 200 generations becomes a Switch Engine and its stabilizer. The latter is reacted with about 100 gen. later. The smallest possible pattern that grows forever.

Somewhat rarer yet is the constellation=producing Switch Engine. Among the output is a glider heading in the same direction as the engine. It far outpaces it,and so is named by me,the Vanguard.

Just for those who aren't sure, this is indeed the block-laying switch engine.
