DEFINITION
Classification: 102/381
Having pressurization or variable control means for the propellant:
(under subclass 374) Subject matter including means for (a) the pressurization of a fluid propelling means of the reaction motor, or (b) the variable control or regulation of the propellent charge of the reaction motor during the flight of the missile so that the degree of combustion of the motor propellant or the time of combustion of such propellant may be regulated.
(1) Note. The phrase "means for the variable control or regulation of the propelling charge" in the definition includes controlling or regulating: (a) the flow of a fluent propelling charge to the combustion chamber of the reaction
motor, or (b) the feeding of a solid propellent form to the combustion chamber of the reaction motor, or (c) the burning surface of a solid propellent charge.
(2) Note. See (2) Note of this class, subclass 374 for the statement of the line between this subclass and Class 60, Power Plants.
