1+Sum[1/((-1)^n*2^(1 + n)^2*QPochhammer[4, 4, n]), {n, 0, Infinity}]/ Sum[1/((-1)^n*2^n^2*QPochhammer[4, 4, n]), {n, 0, Infinity}]
(The source, Takao Komatsu's "Hurwitz and Tasoev Continued Fractions with Long Period" cites another paper, "On Hurwitzian and Tasoev's Continued Fractions", by the same author, but which I can't seem to find) --Neil Bickford

YOW! This paper has the general "single-mover" formula, and also has double movers! --rwg

Arithmetic Periodicites of Bessel Functions, Annals of Math., Vol. 43(1932), 143-150. Continued Fractions Containing Arithmetic Progressions, Scripta Mathematica, V. XXIX. Nos. 1,2. John
