The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is contended by the plaintiff that the provisions for silicon aluminum and aluminum silicon are delimited by the factor of use and testimony was introduced designed to establish that fact. In other words, it is argued that an aluminum alloy like that in controversy which is used as a metal in casting is not an alloy which would be recognized as silicon aluminum or aluminum silicon; that those terms are limited by their common meaning to metallurgical, intermediate, or enricher alloys. Plaintiff also urges that this contention is reinforced by resort to the legislative history upon the subject. However, in view of the conclusion we have reached upon the record in the case, we deem these contentions academic and shall consider them only briefly.”
