Examples
“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.”
