105, Railway Rolling Stock,
37+, for a steam locomotive.
180, Motor Vehicles,
36+, for a motor vehicle of a kind which is adapted to pull, rather than to support, a load and which is provided with a motor of the steam type and a boiler therefor; subclasses 291+ for a motor vehicle wherein a specific motor-to-body-frame relationship is established; and subclasses 303+ for a motor vehicle which includes a traction motor of a type driven by expansible gas received from a source external of the motor and wherein the gas is produced by the treatment of a volatile fluid. In general, the nominal combination of a vehicle and a motor therefor is not beyond the scope of this class (60); however, classification in Class 180 is proper when such elements, members, or mechanisms as the frame, the change-speed gearing, the shafting, and connections for transferring power to one or more ground-engaging elements (e.g., wheels), and so forth, are included.
237, Heating Systems, 12.8, for a combined steam heating and power plant for a car.
