Sam Lingo suggests that the odd valve that used a little rubber sleve or hose but had Presta-size diameter was a Woods valve.

For decades, there has been an old-fashioned valve which I think came with a 26x1-1/4 tube on a British bike. Schraeder diameter, has little rubber hose inside. If memory serves, my early Dunlop repair kits came with a chunk of this stuff. I believe, but could be wrong, that the Woods Valve is this Schraeder-size thing.

I beleave they are called Woods valves
