Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Photoelectric discharge tubes not involving the ionisation of a gas > having photo-emissive cathode, e.g. alkaline photoelectric cell

CPC:

Photoelectric discharge tubes not involving the ionisation of a gas (H01J49/00 takes precedence) > having photo- emissive cathode, e.g. alkaline photoelectric cell (operating with secondary emission H01J43/00)

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
