A patent to the combination of an input-means* (e.g., keyboard) and a specific tool selecting mechanism is placed as an original in subclass 94 or 109 in accordance with the type of selecting mechanism claimed. For original placement in subclass 120, a patent should be drawn to a specific input-means associated with a selective cutting device whereof the selecting mechanism is disclosed but not significantly claimed.
