This is an interesting Friday morning diversion. On the bottom of most US auto down draft carburetors is a "throttle plate," that has a "throttle shaft" run transversely through it with a "butterfly valve" for each "barrel." The term "butterfly" has also been applied to the choke leaf. A side draft carburetor simply rotates the nomenclature 90º (or, if you prefer, 270º).
