Full Oehler systems have a right thumb operated low E and F venting mechanism to sharpen these notes, and in some cases (and on most modern full Oehlers) it has an automatic switchover that closes the low F vent when the low E is played (and is vented with the bell vent).

Some Selmer Recitals have a low F venting mechanism (without a thumb key) which stands open, but is closed with the E/B key and also when the speaker key is opened.

Some pre-Boehm clarinets from around the first half of the 1800s had thumb branches for E/B and F#/C# to avoid sliding the little fingers.
