It comprises processes, tools, machines, and apparatus not classifiable in the specific classes relating to the manufacture of articles from metal. It also includes means which comprise a plurality of operations which separately might be classified in the specific classes, but which by their joinder include more than is covered by the definitions of such specific classes.
This class has been made the generic class for the following subject matter, regardless of the composition of the blank, stock material, or article recited or worked upon:
(a) process of electric condenser making;
(b) a burnishing process;
(c) a process of manufacture;
