fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Object Manipulation Devices branch runs 2 levels deep. 4 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 9 codes marked terminal.

5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 56% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.

The largest sub-branch is Y2409 (Control Devices and Systems), holding 2 of the 9 terminal codes.
