Default The function of "said" in patent description
I’ve done some patent researches recently, and found a very frequent use of “said” in the patent description, for example:

“Gear # 12 is driven by said motor # 2 via said belt # 8….”

What is the function for those “said”s?

Why not just write as:

“Gear # 12 is driven by motor # 2 via belt # 8…”

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

JW
