glider component

**Figure:** T5 is a prominent component in all the E gliders. Together with T1's and T3's, actually parts of an alpha lattice in their own right, they are the principal feature responsible for the expansion or contraction of E gliders.

**Figure:** T5 is the largest triangle in EBar gliders.

**Figure:** T5 plays a role in G gliders similar to the one it has in E gliders, although it does so while forming part of a slightly different alpha lattice.
