Sako (Examiner’s name) on the invoices covered by the protests enumerated above, and assessed with duty at 12% per centum ad valorem under the provisions of paragraph 353, Tariff Act of 1930, as modified, consist of sewing machine motors similar in all material respects to the merchandise the subject of ACEC Electric Corp. v.

That the record in C.D. 2563 be incorporated and made a part of the record in the protests enumerated above, and that the protests be deemed submitted on this stipulation, the protests being limited to the items marked with the letter “A”, as aforesaid.

Dec. 121, T.D. 52739.

To the extent indicated, the specified claim in these suits is sustained; in all other respects and as to all other merchandise, all the claims are overruled.
