               Application 10/270,862                                                                     

               mounting holes (30, for bolts 31) formed in the platform in a fixed pattern                
               (fig. 3), and engages shaft S (fig. 1).                                                    
                     Consider the Appellants’ reinforcing plate disposed on the hub to be

               formed in a fixed pattern (fig. 3) such that threaded fasteners (31) secure the            
               platform between the ring and shaft S (the central hub 15 portion of the                   
               platform is between the ring and shaft S (fig. 1)) through holes (30) in the               
               ring and the platform portion of the hub (fig. 1).                                         
                     This remand to the Examiner includes an order for further                            
               consideration of a rejection.  Accordingly, 37 CFR § 41.50(a)(2) applies if a              
               supplemental Examiner's answer is written in response to this remand by the                
               Board.
