Could you improve mine? What is a 'Miss Shilling's Orifice'?

EDIT: I found out what it is:

It was a fuel flow restrictor designed to mitigate the effects of carburetor and supercharger flooding in RAF planes during negative-g maneuvers. The aircraft in this game just missed out on this feature I am told. Was designed by a very cool Beatrice 'Tilly' Shilling who as well as being a boffin was well into motorcycle racing.
