I've seen carburetor systems with three holes on the bottom of the bowl. I saw several estate pipes (I cannot recall the brand) at my local antique shop/pipe treasure box the other day that all had three rectangular holes arranged side by side on the stem. I assume this is another version of a carb.
Is the idea to let your finger drift across them to adjust airflow? I don't hold pipes by the stem, so if that is the technique, it seems awkward.
Has anyone tried these? Are they a gimmick? Would you be quick to drop $20 on a clean, sterilized estate billiard with this system?
Thanks in advance.
