(1) Note. By its position at the foot of this schedule (the last coordinate under subclass 71), this subclass can accept as an original the combination with a heater or dryer of cloth expanding structures which are not spreaders. This subclass is available, however, for the cross-referencing of the combination of a heater or dryer with spreaders of general construction; i.e., other than those of subclasses 81 and 92.
