Note(s)

This sub-class deals with apparatus for covering a surface or a part of a surface with liquid by any mechanical or physical method and for any purpose, e.g. coating, impregnating, washing, and is particularly concerned with obtaining a uniform distribution of liquid on a surface. It also covers apparatus for dealing similarly with other spreadable substances such as pastes, and the term "liquid" is accordingly to be read as covering such other substances
