          Application 08/071,895                                                      

               pressure agents, antiwear agents, color stabilizers and                
               anti-foam agents.                                                      
                    13. With respect to extreme pressure agents and                   
          corrosion- and oxidation-inhibiting agents, Burjes notes the                
          following (col. 47, lines 9-40; emphasis added):                            
                    Auxiliary extreme pressure agents and corrosion- and              
               oxidation-inhibiting agents which may be included in the               
               lubricants and functional fluids of the invention are                  
               exemplified by chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as              
               chlorinated wax; organic sulfides and polysulfides such                
               as benzyl disulfide, bis(chlorobenzyl)disulfide, dibutyl               
               tetrasulfide, sulfurized methyl ester of oleic acid,                   
               sulfurized alkylphenol, sulfurized dipentene, and                      
               sulfurized terpene;  phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons such[7]                                                 
               as the reaction product of a phosphorus sulfide with                   
               turpentine or methyl oleate, phosphorus esters including               
               principally dihydrocarbon and trihydrocarbon phosphites                
               such as dibutyl phosphite, diheptyl phosphite,                         
               dicyclohexyl phosphite, pentylphenyl phosphite,                        
               dipentylphenyl phosphite, tridecyl phosphite, distearyl                
               phosphite, dimethyl naphthyl phosphite, oleyl 4-                       
               pentylphenyl phosphite, polypropylene (molecular weight                
               500)-substituted phenyl phosphite, diisobutylsubstituted               
               phenyl phosphite; metal thiocarbamates, such as zinc                   


             A "sulfurized terpene" falls within the scope of the "sulfurized organic7                                                                        
          composition" called for by claim 26.  See page 14, lines 1-2 of the specification.
