No wierd gimmick. As pointed out below some current production Ford engines use a 3 valve head.
It's not exactly a new idea either. Back in the 70's the Honda CVCC engines used a 3 valve/cylinder setup. As I recall it had 2 different-sized intake valves. The larger ome admitted a relatively lean main mixture; the other admitted a small volume of a richer mixture. I presume this was done to reduce emissions.
And going back to the late the 1930's the IHC "gas start" diesels also employed a 3 valve arrangement. However on these engines a smaller 3rd valve was used only during starting to open up spark plug chamber and to lower the compression ratio.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
