I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.
What else can I help you with?

What country or culture did the tuba originate from?
Like most instruments, the tuba evolved over a period of time, so it depends on exactly where you want to freeze-frame the process. To me, a tuba isn't a tuba unless it is a good-sized bass instrument made of brass, with a cup mouthpiece and valves, a large bore that expands throughout the length of the tube, and pitched to play well below the trombones and other brass. The first documented instrument like this is the Bass-Tuba built by Johann Gottfried Moritz in 1835, to the specifications of Wilhelm Wieprecht. It was pitched in F, with five short-action piston valves, making it quite comparable to modern instruments except for its relatively small bore and small bell. Moritz was an instrument maker in Berlin, and Wieprecht was a bandleader in the Prussian army (later director of all their military music), so this instrument's origin was solidly German and rooted in the military band tradition. Wieprecht wanted a bass instrument that could match the power of the other brass instruments, especially in an outdoor setting. The French made a contribution here as well, however, through the bass member of the "saxhorn" family, another group of instruments developed by Adolph Sax in the 1840s.

Why the location of the shipyard and the orientation of the ship while in the shipyard are recorded on a brass plaque permanently fixed to the ship when steel naval ships are built?
First of all Brass doesn't corrode and it does not magnetize. Next the reason it is recorded on a brass plaque is to show record of where the ship was built and to provide a permanent hull # and year it was built or commissioned.
