I've attempted a search a few times with no success, are there any other seven cell high p5s other than fumarole and Silver's p5? what about for other periods?

YES!!!! FINALLY!!!! THIS MECHANISM FINALLY HAS A SECOND INSTANCE!!

to my knowledge, this is the first time it's been used since the TWIN BEES SHUTTLE.
