The 4-engine Cordership is a diagonal c/12 spaceship that was discovered by David Bell on July 9, 2005. It is the second smallest known Cordership in terms of its minimum population of 134 cells, superseded by the 2-engine Cordership. David Bell used this spaceship to create a small sawtooth, sawtooth 260.[1]
A slight modification of this Cordership that is asymmetric, with a minimum population of 136 cells, is also quite well-known and displayed below.
In November 2014 Michael Simkin discovered an alternate 4-engine Cordership, with temporally independent front and back halves -- the last two switch engines can be delayed by any number of ticks relative to the front.[2]
