Air Correction Solenoid - Air Filter

Today I decided to prise apart the little air filter that supplies air to the Air Correction Solenoids when they open up to allow for extra air flow into the carbs to correct for the effects of the power jets kicking in.

This is a little part that never seems to get much of a mention and is largely ignored I guess?
Probably because nothing ever goes wrong with it.

There was a small build up of lint on the side of the filter connected to atmosphere, but basically it was OK.
I was just curious to see what it was made up of more than anything else.

As can be seen in the picture, there are 2 circular filters. One is paper like, the other is kinda like synthetic wool or something?

In any case, it was easy enough to blow air through the filters, so I guess they are fine.
