col CSS class in Layout Techniques

Greetngs, I'm still learning and this question is in regard to the CSS Layout Techniques project files 1-3. Can someone please explain the following class attribute with the col after the class name. <div class="primary-content col"> I've used it as an attribute for column width within tables or for the column width regarding the width of a text field or text area. But it used here like an additional css class. Yet the external css file has no col class. Thank you.

Within the style.css file it has the following styling:

.col {
    padding: 20px;
}

and

.col {
    width: 30%;
    display: inline-block;
    margin-right: -5px;
    vertical-align: top;
}
