          Application 07/942,293                                                      


          Schmidt et al.           4,436,372                     Mar. 13,             
          1984                                                                        
          (Schmidt)                                                                   
                    The following rejection is the sole rejection before              
          us for review.                                                              
                    Claims 1 through 4, 6, and 7 stand rejected under                 
          35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Horton.                          




                    The full text of the examiner's rejection and                     
          response to the argument presented by appellants appears in                 
          the answer (Paper No. 13), while the complete statement of                  
          appellant's argument can be found in the brief (Paper No.                   
          12) .2                                                                        


                                       OPINION                                        




           The copy of claim 3 in the appendix to the brief is in2                                                                      
          error in that it reflects that the claim depends from claim 1.              
          Claim 3, in the application file, specifies that the claim depends          
          from claim 2. The copy of claim 7 in the brief is also in error.            
          The recitation of "the vehicle" in the claim should be "a vehicle"          
          as in claim 7 in the application file.  We have reviewed claims 3           
          and 7 based upon their correct form in the application file.                
                                          3
