Washing machine (or cloverleaf) is a period-2 oscillator found by Robert Wainwright no later than June 1972.[1] It consists of four diagonal on-off rotors within a single stator.

It is the fifty-sixth most common object on Catagolue in the symmetry the object has (D4_x1), making it the fourth most common period-2 oscillator in that symmetry, but it is much rarer in asymmetric soups.

In other rules

Washing machine is much more common in Grounded Life (B35/S23), even in asymmetric soups. It is the 56th most common object in asymmetric soups and the 21st most common object in D4_x1 soups.

Typical formation of a washing machine with a bun (Which evolves to the fleet sequence) and a bakery sequence, that does not work in Life. This also highlights the fact that washing machines tend to form with beacons.
