          Appeal No. 97-1437                                                          
          Application 08/356,227                                                      





                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final            
          rejection of claim 18, the only claim remaining in this                     
          application.  Claims 1 through 17 have been canceled.                       


                    The subject matter on appeal is directed to a drive               
          for a multi-color, web-fed, rotary printing press.  As noted on             
          page 2 of appellant's brief, the printing press and drive                   
          therefore are "shown in somewhat schematic fashion in Figs. 1 and           
          2 of the drawings."  A copy of claim 18 can be found in Appendix            
          A of appellant's brief.                                                     


                    On page 3 of the examiner's answer (Paper No. 12), it             
          is noted that "[t]he rejection of the claims [sic, claim 18] on             
          prior art as set forth in the final rejection is withdrawn."                
          Accordingly, there are currently no prior art references relied             
          upon by the examiner in rejecting the appealed claim.
