Also, on a Geyer layout horn the air flow switches direction from the F to the Bb horn. On Bb, the air goes from bottom to top through the valve section. On the F horn it goes through the F tuning slide, then in from the top of the valve section. Some have suggested that's a reason for "Whoshing" and that's one thing the Paxman Merewether design eliminated.
