DEFINITION
Classification: 234/90

complete such conditioning of the power drive train.
(1) Note. A common purpose for such a device is to provide what is loosely termed one-stroke storage*, thus affording the operative of a keyboard machine an opportunity of recitifying an error if it is perceived before the next key has been struck.
(2) Note. Storage* is not necessarily involved in machines of this type.
