I have added several new exhibits today, and that will conclude the initial exhibits. Others will be added in the future.

Today's additions include:

Correcting the alcohol pump to alcohol control valve per Joe P.'s suggestion. Thank you Joe.
Pictures of the infamous Rochester type AA, and the one year only Rochester BB
The 1918 Oldsmobile 2-barrel that some enthusiasts keep calling a 4-barrel
Some rotary throttle carbs, including a prototype with gear drive on the throttle
The aftermarket Riley and Flynn high performance carburetors.
The Detroit Lubricator type 51 Cadillac V-12 carb.
The "high mileage" (along with a tooth fairy ) Pogue and Fish carburetors.
The Woodworth VCCV (parent of the Preditor)

I have some very interesting (at least to me) Holley stuff to add, but it is buried, and I am busy. One of the Holley items to list is a two-barrel flowing approximately 600 CFM MEASURED ON THE 4-BARREL SCALE, that was introduced in 1929! The carburetor was in production from 1929 into the mid-1950's. This fact conveniently ignored by the automotive journalists that write the tripower came to pass (1957) because there wasn't a large enough single carburetor. The Holley is a model DD-5. The throttle bores are the same size as the secondary on a Q-Jet.
