Hi All, I had a short email exchange (in French) with Antoine de
Lanfranchi from France about a valve in an Odeola system. He sent
me two pictures and a patent that he had found. So, I've attached
them to this article. I've never seen this type of valve.

In his second email (and as translated by Google), he wrote, "take
the opportunity to feed your MMD base if you want other pictures or
of the system say it to me." I've asked him to send more pictures.

Musically,
