Note(s)

  1. This subclass covers measuring of position or displacement in terms of linear or angular dimensions. [4]
  2. In this subclass, the groups are distinguished by the means of measurement which is of major importance. Thus the mere application of other means for giving a final indication does not affect the classification.
  3. Attention is drawn to the Notes following the title of class G01.
  4. Machines operated on similar principles to the hand-held devices specified in this subclass are classified with these devices.
