By sheer coincidence a customer has just brought in today a pair of Schwenk & Seggelke reform Boehm clarinets for some repair work and I have had a chance to inspect the mechanism close up.
The RH rings operate two auxillary mechanisms and one of these performs just as the Acton vent. I can also confirm that the quality of its implementation is very fine keeping all the operation mechanism well clear of the fingers and providing a crisp action, much better than the 1010.
To give some balance these instruments are not cheap, possibly the most expensive Boehm models made today.
