DEFINITION
Classification: 352/232
(under the class definition) Subject matter including the structure or medium on which the series of pictures are recorded in the cooperating apparatus (e.g., camera) for later observation or reproduction with cooperating apparatus (e.g., projector).
(1) Note. The subject matter here is usually separate and distinct from the recording and projecting apparatus, but requires such apparatus for the recording and reproducing of the scene. Where the carrier and recording and/or reproducing apparatus are inseparable or claimed, classification is usually in one of the above subclasses directed to particular types of motion picture equipment, e.g., subclasses 98+ and 101.
(2) Note. The subject matter of this subclass (232) includes some structural limitation adapting the carrier to motion picture cameras and projectors, as opposed to mere chemical limitations in such carriers, which are classified in the Radiation Imagery Chemistry search class note below.

37, for picture and sound carriers.
56, for methods of treating or working film strip. 98+, for individual picture plate devices. See also (1) Note above.
130, for motion picture apparatus with film treating or working structure.
