I found this bit hilarious:

::When depressed, [the fifth] valve
will lower all pitches down a major second, making valve combinations
equivalent to the B-flat tuba fingerings. The real purpose in using
this valve is to assist the tubist in lowering pitches that play sharp.
This is crucial when playing in the low register because the C-tuba
tends to play sharp.
