The French 6-valve trombone by Sax represents another way of distributing the lengths of valve crooks.

Each valve crook is intended to correspond to the positions 2 through 7, respectively, of the slide trombone. The valves were not intended to be used in combinations.

I read about this now obsolete instrument many years ago, but saw no illustrations until last night at the site linked below.

Scroll down that page to find the "master" of 8 pictures.
