The provision
A contract for the delivery at a certain price of an article which the vendor in the ordinary course of his business manufactures or procures for the general market, whether the same is on hand at the time or not, is a contract of sale, but if the goods are to be manufactured specially for the customer and upon his special order, and not for the general market, it is a contract for a piece of work.

Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
When a seller delivers goods it normally makes or stocks for the general market, the deal is a contract of sale, even if the item is not yet on hand at the time. But if the goods are made specially to a customer's particular order and not for the open market, the arrangement is instead a contract for a piece of work.
