It should be noted that after completing and publishing (Ref. 8) our experiments with annular ladders we found out a specific problem in their layout, namely, every second horizontal junction in the inner ring was shorted during fabrication. This explains why mainly breathers with even numbers of rotating vertical junctions were observed.
