Thus the term "vehicle" includes: vehicular characteristics which are common to more than one of the above-listed types; certain characteristics restricted to automobiles, road or cross-country trailers. The following exceptions to the above should be noted: subclass or embrace all vehicle wheels and tyres, except wheels for roller skates , wheels for model railway vehicles , and special adaptations of wheels or tyres for aircraft ; subclass embraces the connection of valves to inflatable elastic bodies in general, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles; subclass embraces certain electric equipment of all electrically-propelled vehicles; subclass embraces certain power supply equipment for, but external to, any kind of electrically-propelled vehicle; subclass embraces safety belts or body harnesses used in all types of land vehicles; subclass relates to all kinds of vehicles, except the servicing of rail locomotives , ground equipment for aircraft , or cleaning apparatus peculiar to waterborne vessels , ; subclass includes brake control systems of general applicability, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles. It also includes rail-vehicle power-brake systems and some other features of rail-vehicle brake systems. <titlePart> <text>VEHICLE WHEELS</text> </titlePart> <titlePart> <text>CASTORS</text> </titlePart> <titlePart> <text>AXLES</text> </titlePart> <titlePart> <text>INCREASING WHEEL ADHESION</text> </titlePart> Attention is drawn to the Note following the title of class .
