A full, not compensating, double.
It requires no compromise of intonation on valve combination, as is the case with compensating designs. The fifth valve is a Bb F rotor. The fourth valve is a muting valve that lowers the horn 3/4 step to bring stopped horn mutes into tune without intonation. Extra fourth slide puts Bb in the key of A, so written E horn parts do not have to be transposed.
