Paul,
Well that is very interesting the opening shape of the slide in that
slide-throttle is exactly as I suggested it should be, as it provides the
smallest possible opening at idle - therefore providing a better control at
idle.
It's gratifying to see one's ideas confirmed even if the idea has been
around for some considerable time - it would seem.

Can you document this claim? :) Perhaps I forgot you told use
about it.

Slide Throttle Rev. 12

Paul,
Their on the Video RHS of thumbnails.
The throttle plate seems to have concave opening ( as apposed to your
convex/ round slide openings - which gives a smaller initial/ idle opening.
Probably less sensitive at low RPM.

OK I found it. You are hereby credited with this invention.

Paul,
It was way before that statement, and I actually did a drawing (I think),
which I can't now find. The thumbnails of that time must have prompted a
further comment.
Thanks for the recognition, but I sure as h.ll didn't invent it, however I
do feel it has merit in keeping the inlet area small at low RPM.

You only get credit when you can prove it :)
