Abstract: One of the most striking results on clusters of galaxies field obtained with ASCA is existance of metal abundance gradient in cool cD clusters. Its scale-length of the abundance gradient is about 100kpc, which is smilar to the typical size of cD. The result implies a relationship between cD and the abaundace gradient. On the other hand, the existance of abundance gradient in hot component extending over the cluster tells us there is no relationship between cD and the abundace gradient. The best way to solve the problem is to observe non-cD cluster. However, there has been no observation of non-cD cool clusters. Then, we propose two non-cD-type cool clusters of galaxies; A168.
