	Class Definition for Class 57 - TEXTILES: SPINNING, TWISTING, AND TWINING
		Spinning, as it is known in the art with reference to the production of yarns, etc., from cotton, wool and/or other fibrous materials, includes the attenuating, drawing or drafting of the fibrous material, together with the twisting and winding thereof.
		Since continuous filamentary material ordinarily cannot be drafted, the term "spinning" as employed in this class cannot be applied to the twisting of silk in filamentary form, continuous artificial filaments, wires, etc. Consequently, search for devices for operating on such material should not be made in subclass 315.
		Subject matter comprising apparatus for spinning, twisting, or twining, processes involving the use of such apparatus not classified elsewhere, or processes for spinning, twisting, or twining not limited to the use of such apparatus.
