What kind of a carburetor did a rotary engine have? There was no

Depends on the engine. The Camel typically came with a Le Rhone, a Clerget, or a
Bentley rotary. All three had carburetors, apparently in addition to the "dribble
feed" fuel intake used by most rotaries. Carb parts for the Le Rhone are sold at
http://www.lerhoneauburn.com and you will find a rather vague photo there. Looks like
a new carb would be worth somewhere around $5,000.
