                                   THE REFERENCES                                     
               The references relied upon by the examiner to support the              
          final rejection are:                                                        
          MacGregor                     2,424,474                     Jul.            
          22, 1947                                                                    
          Dann                          2,463,455                     Mar.            
          1, 1949                                                                     


                                    THE REJECTION                                     
               Claims 1-16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being              
          unpatentable over Dann in view of MacGregor.                                


                                       OPINION                                        
               Rather than reiterate the examiner’s explanation of the                
          rejection and the appellant’s arguments in response thereto,                
          we refer to the Examiner’s Answer (Paper No. 10) and the                    
          Appeal Brief (Paper No. 7).
