Description
Plate 1 (just left of pump 1) is connected to gear 2. Plate 2 is connected to gear 3 and so on, wrapping around from the beginning to create a cycle--in the layout above, plate 3 is shown connected back to gear 1. Plate i in an n-step repeater is connected to gear (i mod n)+1.
This allows for a sequential repeater with any n steps, where n is an integer greater than 1.

The bottom right channel has no plate, so the left pump just passes the water. Thus, odd steps are allowed.
2-step Alternating Repeater
See this page for this special case using a double-pump stack design.
