as alloys of silver. |

6.
Except where the context otherwise requires, any reference in the

mechanical means a covering of precious metal. Except where the context
otherwise requires, the expression also covers base metal inlaid with
precious metal. |

the Nomenclature. |

which 90 % or more by weight passes through a sieve having a mesh aperture of
