    H01G 13/02Machines for winding capacitors
    H04N 1/00Sheet handling not of interest apart from its use in systems for transmission or reproduction of pictures or patterns not varying in time, e.g. facsimile transmission.
    In this subclass:
      the groups relating to thin material, as defined under (i) of Note (3) below, are primarily intended to cover the handling of articles made of paper or cardboard, but also include the handling of articles made of other materials which have similar characteristics or present similar handling problems, e.g. articles made of sheet-plastics or leather;the groups relating to filamentary material (groups B65H 49/00 onwards), as defined in Note (3) below, cover only methods or devices of general application or interest.
    In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
      "handling" includes feeding, folding (other than in the manufacture of products), guiding, orientating, storing, unwinding, and winding;"thin material" includes:
        sheets, signatures, envelopes, blanks, and thin piles thereof (hereinafter referred to as "articles"), andwebs, tapes, and films, e.g. of paper, fabric, metal foil, or plastics;
      "filamentary material" includes thread, wires, ropes, cables, and hoses;"package" means a mass of filamentary material, formed by coiling, depositing, or winding, with or without a supporting core or former or an enclosing container or receptacle.
