Rotary valve parts diagram

I know I've seen this before, but I can't find it on my own...

Is there a diagram that shows a rotary valve section, and has all of the parts labeled? I'm not quite 100% on my vocabulary, and a diagram would answer my questions.

Thanks!
Brett

On my phone so can't do screenshots, but check out page 8 of this link.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Is there anything that labels the linkage parts as well?

Hey Bloke - as the proud owner of a historic Gronitz, I'm hurt by the "disgronificator" appellation :lol: (Not really- just showing that you can't post ANYTHING without somebody being "injured") Isn't that the part just before the mouthpiece?

:?

Thanks! (Mostly!)

What is the name of the horizontal bar, where the paddles and springs attach?
