"Continental" and "British" throat Ab

Author: bmcgar ★2017

Instrument 5178 on page 507 of the Shackleton catalog is described as having "... a long tailed throat Ab key that enables the Continental fingering as well as the British."

This style of Ab key is also used on my Rossis, but I never thought that the elongated key design was used for any other purpose than to accommodate unusual LH positions.

Would someone enlighten me as to what the Continental and British fingerings of Ab are? (I assume that one of those is the standard LH T-Ab key 0-0-0 fingering.)

Danke.

B.
