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

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
(Not really- just showing that you can't post ANYTHING without somebody being "injured") Isn't that the part just before the mouthpiece?
