Clock was found by Simon Norton in May 1970. This is the fifth or sixth most common oscillator, being about as frequent as the pentadecathlon, but much less frequent than the blinker, toad, beacon or pulsar. It is surprisingly rare considering its small size.[1] It is also the logo pattern for the WinLifeSearch.
