(under subclass 145) Means to mill indeterminate length work: Apparatus particularly adapted to shape a workpiece that is effectively infinite in length.
(1) Note. The infeed means of this subclass engages the workpiece at the sides thereof, at the leading end, or at the trailing end, but, in no instance recognizes (i.e, engages) both ends of a single workpiece. A workpiece formed in a closed loop intended to turn through a milling apparatus is considered to be of indeterminate length for this subclass.
(2) Note. Work infeed means for this subclass are those in the immediate area of the cutting tool; similar structure remote from the cutting tool is considered to be work
advancing means.
