DEFINITION
Classification: 338/214
(under subclass 210) Subject matter wherein the resistor has an elongated shape and is of substantially uniform external size over its length, the resistance element extending between the ends of the resistor.
(1) Note. A plural conductor cable is classified here if the conductor has distinctive resistance characteristics.
(2) Note. Subject matter found in this subclass usually consists of a resistance wire, often twisted around a core, and inclosed by insulation on the exterior, with the whole assembly forming a waterproof and insulated resistive conductor. Electric resistors having only a single element, yet having cable characteristics, are also classified in this subclass.
