Jam was found by Achim Flammenkamp in 1988, but not widely known about until its independent discovery (and naming) by Dean Hickerson in September 1989. Compare with mold. In terms of its 7×7 bounding box it ties with trice tongs as the smallest period 3 oscillator. It is also about the seventeenth most common naturally-occurring oscillator, being slightly less common than the blocker.[1]
