A relay is an oscillator in which spaceships (typically gliders) travel in a loop. The simplest example is the p60 glider shuttle shown below using two pentadecathlons. Pulling the pentadecathlons further apart allows any period of the form 60+120n to be achieved - this is the simplest proof of the existence of oscillators of arbitrarily large period.
