DEFINITION

Classification: 56/10.1

(under the class definition) Machine wherein a harvester or an operating assemblage thereof derives all or part of its motive power from a motor or engine, or from a vehicle that is driven by a motor or engine.

(1) Note. For this and indented subclasses, the terms "motor" and "vehicle" may be considered in their broadest aspects. Among terms acceptable for, or equivalent to, "motor" are: "power take-off", "engine", "hydraulic ram", "drive means" (i.e., where the specification discloses a motor), these being only examples of such terms. Among terms acceptable for, or equivalent to, "vehicle" are such exemplary term as: "self-propelled machine", "engine- driven wheeled frame", "tractor", "mobile frame" (i.e., where the specification discloses that the mobility of the frame is derived from a motor).

(2) Note. The term "operating assemblage" refers to that portion of a harvester that causes a change in the condition or the location of the material operated upon. Such material may be vegetation (i.e., that which is growing from the ground) or crop (i.e., that which has been separated from the ground by a harvester unit). The change in condition may be effected by such exemplary assemblages as a cutting unit, a (corn) snapping unit, a (cotton) picking unit, a (wheat) threshing unit, and the change in location may be effected by such exemplary assemblages as a gathering unit (i.e., that which directs vegetation to a cutter or picker) or a conveyor unit (i.e., that which moves crop from one location to another).

14.1+, for a train of two or more vehicles, at least one of them being a motor vehicle; and subclasses 53.1+ for a motor

vehicle provided with means for facilitating the use of its motor for supplying power to drive another machine (e.g., power take-off).
