Interchange is a common constellation of six blinkers.
There are two different interchanges; the more common one is displayed to the right. The less common variant has five cells between the left and right halves instead of four.
Two gliders reflected along an axis of symmetry with an even number of rows between them form an interchange. With an odd number of rows, it becomes a bi-block instead.
