Here's a link to photos of the AERO carb disassembled before it was restored.

That design makes me think of a Detroit Lubricator, where the air flow opens the fuel valve mechanically.

That is a neat looking carburetor. Interesting that the throttle butterfly is in the manifold and not in the carburetor itself. Buick did that for some years in the 1920s.
With the manifold holding the carburetor in the center like that, I wonder if it can work on a T engine with a generator. That was a problem I ran into with my first speedster. It had a Bosch DU4 mounted in place of the generator. I had a couple good carburetors and manifolds, but none that would share the space with the magneto. I ended up running that car for years with a standard Holly NH. It ran great that way, and I put a lot of miles on that car.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
