          Application 07/818,162                                                      







                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims              
          1 through 10 and 23 through 28.  Claims 11 through 22 and 29                
          through 37, the only other claims in the application, stand                 
          allowed (Paper No. 11).                                                     


                    Appellant’s invention pertains to an interferometer               
          and to a bearing for an interferometer.  An understanding of                
          the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary                    
          claims 1   and 23, copies of which appear in the appendix to                
          appellant’s brief.                                                          


                    As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied              
          the documents listed below:
