DEFINITION

Classification: 315/312

(under the class definition) Systems having a plurality of load devices connected in the system.

(1) Note. Where the claimed system includes a plurality of

lamps or discharge devices and one is connected in the circuit so as to control or modify the current flow to the other which is the ultimate load device in the system, or where a lamp or discharge device is connected in the control circuit of the discharge control discharge device where the load device is a discharge control discharge device, the patent is classified as a plural load device system where the controlling and/or modifying device is a lamp or discharge device whose operation depends upon gas or vapor ionization even though the system is claimed as having only one ultimate load device. Where the controlling and/or modifying device is claimed, merely as a discharge device, even though it is disclosed as a gaseous ionization discharge device, the controlling and/or modifying device is not considered to be a load device for the purpose of classification.
