“a three-valver; a nine-valver; a rotary-valver”

“The other day, for example, a giant of a set arrived- a ten-valver covering all the short-wave bands and also the medium.”

“When he finished his act, there was a tumult of hand -clapping, reproduced with great power by the nine-valver.”

“The carbureted, oversquare, 95.5 × 62.8mm, dohc four-valver uses a narrow 26-degree included valve angle for compactness.”

“Sorry, David, but I'm a little confused here, there was an implication that the set was a six-valver with two VP133's. If these were 2 IFamps, that suggests good gain and selectivity, if one was a tuned RF amp, it would fit in with the overall screening in keeping LO radiation down. Either way, it smacks of something a cut above the crowd.”

“The three-valver harks back to the 5.5-liter V-12 that first appeared in the Maybach 57 in 2002.”

“Early street OHV engines, for the most part, were two-valvers: each cylinder had an intake and an exhaust valve, because it was a simple, inexpensive layout.”

“The first sight of the eight-valver tells you it’s a two-wheeled version of a Texan cow-wrangler: lean, mean and packing a punch.”

“Every R1 had this layout from 1998 to 2006, but Yamaha decided to give the five-valver the boot for a traditional four-valve design – a la Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki.”

“It was designed to spin to 20,000 rpm, but the inherent problems – and the enormous production costs – spelled the end for the seven-valver, and Yamaha embarked on a six-valve (three inlet, three exhaust) version that apparently addressed many of the concerns.”

“The article begins by noting that “the small receiver is apt to be despised in these days of 7 and 8 -valve superhets, there is still a very wide field of application for the simple one-valver.”
