(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein the antenna is
formed of conductive rods, wires or mesh screens enclosing a space and wherein such rods, wires or screens are connected together galvanically to form a single electrical mass.
(1) Note. Antennas in this subclass and in subclasses 866+ may form continuous electrical circuits, but in this subclass (896) there is a single terminal feed to or from the antenna; while in subclasses 866+ both ends of the continuous antenna are connected to the separate lead-in terminals.

804, for multiple conductor type folded dipoles.
808, for doublet antennas whose plural-rod arms form a V.
843, for antennas having an appreciable wave length dimension which may involve cage-like structure. 866+, for loop type antennas. See also (1) Note, above.
874+, for mast or tower type antennas which may involve cage-like structure.
