Not only were they rotary valves on many of these horns, but they were top action rotaries. The valves were played from the top like a piston, but actually activated a rotor. The link below shows a picture of this type of valve, although this is not an "over the shoulder" instrument. I once saw a web site which had a complete collection of over the shoulder, top action, horns by Slater or Stratton in every size, but I can't remember where I saw it. I would love to have one, but not for the $$$ I have seen them selling for.
