(1) Note. A patent to a product within the scope of this class and claiming a "textile" will be placed in this subclass unless the disclosure indicates that the reference is to a nonstrand textile, such as a layer of fibers, for which see subclass 532 above. The term cloth will be construed as signifying textile; the term fabric will not be so construed.
