2. It is understood that these cabinets measure some 6 x 4 x 2 feet, that they are designed to protect their contents against damage by fire and that deductions have been disallowed in some cases on the view that they should be treated as items of office furniture.
RULING
3. Because of their nature and particular purpose it is considered that protective cabinets of this kind should not be treated as falling into the general category of office furniture. It is desired, therefore, that, other conditions being satisfied, claims for investment allowance in respect of cabinets of this kind, be allowed.
