Dont be surprised by unusual design features of FOX engines; Duke tried
lots of variations on the theme and most worked real well.  I have seen
seen FOX needle valves (Control Line) with a little cross shaped end
where you would normally see a point.  It was used to hold the needle
truly central in the spraybar.  This may have something like that.
