The '''c/5 diagonal rake''' is a variable-period [[rake]] that fires [[glider]]s as it moves diagonally at a [[speed]] of c/5. It was constructed by [[Matthias Merzenich]] on 7th September {{year|2010}} and subsequently entered into the [[Pattern of the Year]] competition. It is composed of copies of [[58P5H1V1]] which catalyse the duplication of a circulating [[glider]]. The original version had a period of 1585.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=366&p=3761#p3761|title=Re: Pattern of the Year 2010 competition|author=Matthias Merzenich|date=Sep 7, 2010|accessdate=Jan 27, 2019}}</ref>

The period-450 version in the infobox was created by adjusting the period of the glider loop and inserting multiple circulating gliders to obtain a proper divisor thereof. By using a kickback reaction, this version is appropriate for inserting gliders into salvos, and was used in [[Paul Rendell]]'s [[fully universal Turing machine]] to construct the stacks.
