contains no teaching of a hub mounted for rotation and having
a contact area with the core in excess of 50% of the area of

applied prior art but stems from hindsight knowledge derived
from the appellants' own disclosure. It follows that we
cannot sustain the examiner's rejections of claims 12 and 13.
