      The author denotes by \(C\ell(r,s|p,q)\) the tensor product of the commutative algebra \(\mathcal{K}(r,s)\) generated over \(\mathbb{R}\) by \(v_1,\dots,v_r,w_1,\dots,w_s\) satisfying \(v_i^2=1\) and \(w_j^2=-1\) for all \(i\in \{1,\dots,r\}\) and \(j \in \{1,\dots,s\}\), and the standard Clifford algebra \(C\ell(p,q)\) generated over \(\mathbb{R}\) by pairwise anticommuting elements \(x_1,\dots,x_p,y_1,\dots,y_q\) satisfying \(x_i^2=1\) and \(y_j^2=-1\) for all \(i\in \{1,\dots,p\}\) and \(j \in \{1,\dots,q\}\). The main result of this paper is Table 1 which contains a full description of \(C\ell(r,s|p,q)\) for the different values \(r\), \(s\), \(p\), \(q\) take.
