The first subclasses under Compressor are Kinds of compressor: Centrifugal and
Axial flow (based on direction of flow): Single stage and Multi-stage (based on stage
numbers) and so on. The synonyms which appear at the concept level automatically
sort themselves out (e. g., the three variants at E65) Any categories (generic and
non-generic) which refer to a given subclass follow that subclass immediately. So
under Axial compressors is found Kinds (Drum construction, Disk construction, Jumo
004) and Parts (Blade) - and a particular kind of axial compressor blade follows that.
(N. b. - a clerical error has resulted in the Kind of a. f.c. 'Jumo 004' following the
Part, 'Blade' instead of preceding it; such errors did not affect the programming of
searches).
The Kinds facet is followed by the Parts facet (Stage, Blade, etc. ). The bracketed
term Stage followed by 'Q, indicates a term which appeared in one of the questions but
not in the indexing of the subset documents; it has been inserted for programming pur-
poses. The array of 'Stage characteristic, demonstrates a recurrent problem in the
subject field analysed, that of maintaining 'generic' relations in a situation where
strict definition of terms would result in an uncomfortably large number of tiny subff[OCRerr]:ets
