CROSS-REFERENCE ART COLLECTIONS
The following subclasses are collections of cross-references of published disclosures pertaining to various specified aspects of the illuminating art which aspects do not form appropriate bases for subclasses in the fore-going classification (i.e., subclasses superior hereto in the schedule). These subclasses assist a search based on remote function of the apparatus and may be of further assistance to the searcher as a starting point in further related fields of search either inside or outside the class. Thus, there is
here provided a second access for retrieval of a limited number of types of disclosure.
(1) Note. Disclosures are placed in these subclasses for their value as references and as leads to appropriate main or secondary fields of search without regard to their original classification.
(2) Note. The disclosures cross-referenced into the following subclasses are examples only of the indicated subject matter, and in no instance do they represent the entire extent of the prior art.
