(under the class definition) Subject matter including specific structure of a record carrier.
(1) Note. Magnetic records which are defined only by their composition are not classified in this subclass. Magnetic records which include no more structure than a base having one or more coatings thereon are also excluded from this subclass. Merely naming the record as a wire, filament, rod, ribbon, strand, or record will not be sufficient to classify the patent in Class 360. For magnetic records and analogous articles which are defined only by their composition or which include no more structure than a base having one or more coatings thereon see Classes below.

106, Compositions: Coating or Plastic, for strands, filaments and records distinguished solely by being made of plastic compositions.
148, Metal Treatment,
400+, for metallic stock or strands which are the product of a Class 148 process, particularly indented subclasses 300+ drawn to magnetic products of a Class 148 process. 206, Special Receptacle or Package,
307+, for a container under the class definition for removably containing an article which includes machine readable information registered thereon.
235, Registers,
493, for a record containing discrete bits of magnetic material, said bits being coded markings on a record.
252, Compositions,
62.51+, for compositions specialized and designed for use as magnetic materials, substances peculiar to such compositions or processes of making compositions or substances.
346, Recorders,
134+, for non magnetic records.
352, Optics: Motion Picture,
1+, for sound recording, including magnetic sound records, combined with motion picture structure.
420, Alloys or Metallic Compositions, appropriate subclasses for alloy stock or strands which are claimed broadly as "magnetic", or "magnetized" or "permanent magnet" or are defined only in terms of their composition but are inherently magnetic and for metallic stock or strands composed of a single metal.
