#N Ruler
#C This produces groups of LWSSs headed west, with gaps of fixed size
#C between them.  The lengths of the groups form the 'ruler' sequence,
#C 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 5 ... (Sloane's A001511).  The first
#C group of length n is emitted about generation 96*2^n.
#C The pattern uses a Corderman eater puffer found by Paul Tooke (Jan 2004),
#C a p48 glider gun by Noam Elkies (Jun 1997), a p8 glider reflector by
#C Noam Elkies (Sep 1998), and a p24 LWSS puffer (source unknown).
