DEFINITION

Classification: 73/514.39

Magnetic speed measuring or mechanical speed measuring with ancillary magnetic means or with ancillary electrical means:

(under subclass 488) A process or an apparatus comprising: (a) a magnetic means used for detecting the rate of change in position of the body or (b) a mechanical speed measuring means responsive to the rate of change in position of the body combined with magnetic means or electrical means, wherein the magnetic means or the electrical means is subordinate to the mechanical speed measuring means.

(1) Note. The apparatus herein does not include magnetic means for producing an electrical signal representative of speed.
