          matter are set forth in the claim, a copy of which taken from the           
          appellants’ Brief is appended to this decision.

          obviousness are:                                                            

          Reynolds et al. (Reynolds)    2,716,134      Aug. 23, 1955

          (Japanese Patent)                                                           

               Claim 32 stands rejected under 35 USC § 103 as being                   
          unpatentable over von Bramer in view of Reynolds alone or in                
          combination with Yonezawa.                                                  
               We refer to the Brief and to the Answer for a complete                 
          exposition of the opposing viewpoints expressed by the appellants           
          and the examiner concerning the above noted rejections.
