          sustained at the time of change-over to the second mode, and for            
          continuing the rotation of said drive means until the recording             
          of the image signal for one picture which is being recorded, even           
          if the operation of said operating means is released during                 
          recording operation of said recording means and said operating              
          signal is interrupted and thereafter stopping said rotation.                
                                     References                                       
               The references relied on by the Examiner are as follows:               
               Adcock                        4,057,830      Nov.  8, 1977             
               Morishita et al. (Morishita) 4,188,642       Feb. 12, 1980             
                                 Rejections at Issue                                  
               Claims 33,35-38, and 44-48 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Adcock and Morishita.                      
                         Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or            
          the Examiner, we make reference to the brief1 and the answer2 for           
          the details thereof.                                                        
                                       OPINION                                        
               The issue on appeal is whether claims 33, 35-38, and 44-48             
          are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over             

               1 Appellants filed an Appeal Brief on August 9, 1999.  We              
          will refer to this appeal brief as simply the Brief.   Appellants           
          filed a reply brief on December 27, 1999.  We will refer to this            
          reply brief as the Reply Brief.                                             
               2                                                                      
               2 The Examiner responded to Appellants’ Appeal Brief on                
          October 25, 1999.  We will refer to this answer as simply the               
          Answer.
