Subject: Unknown Valve

Ok, I admit it, I do have a subscription to Rodales Scuba Diving.  Hey, ya
gotta get your comic relief from someplace.  And I only look at the
pictures.

However, the June 2002 issue with the "Rec Tech" article beginning on Page
68 has a picture of a garage sale diver that I have a serious question
about...

Look at his stage bottles.  Notwithstanding that they nicely match the color
of his drysuit, there appear to be two (2) handwheels per valve (a Blue
wheel and a Yellow wheel) unless I'm seeing things.  If what I think I'm
seeing is true, why two handwheels on each valve?  I haven't seen this type
of tank valve before....

BTW, the multiple carabiners are a nice touch...
