Chaps, 
I am trying to work out the area of carb inlet as it is opened incrementally.
 
This involves the overlapped portion of two circles, as well as, a circle cut into slices ( straight cuts).
 
This should give me an indication of the linier or otherwise, volume of air as it sweeps through the carb.
 
This then should indicate the shape of the grind of the needle in maintaining continuity of the mixture ratio of fuel to air.
 
Any helpers with this one!?
