Note(s) This sub-class includes manually controlled power-operated apparatus and apparatus of this type with additional control by input of recorded information, e.g. on punched cards or tapes. It also includes the "print-out" features of apparatus controlled by record carriers or electric signals in so far as these are of general interest, e.g. impression, inking, line-spacing mechanisms, but excludes electrical features thereof and such apparatus as a whole. In this sub-class, the term "paper" should be understood as covering also similar flexible copy materials.
