A separator aperture is disposed in the pressure side of the inlet duct and is in flow communication with the separator aperture. The separator receptacle includes a turning wall which is substantially arcuate in a transverse plane, and is substantially closed for preventing the flow of airflow therethrough while being effective for receiving and capturing foreign objects which enter the inlet duct and pass through the separator aperture.
