          Application No. 08/074,303                                                  


                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               The appellant's invention relates to a glass article                   
          forming machine.  An understanding of the invention can be                  
          derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which appears in               
          the appendix to the appellant's brief.                                      


               The prior art reference of record relied upon by the                   
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:                               
          Farkas                   4,338,115                     July 6,              
          1982                                                                        



               Claims 1 through 4, 6 and 7 stand rejected under 35                    
          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to                 
          particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter              
          which the appellant regards as the invention.                               


               Claims 1, 6 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as              
          being unpatentable over Farkas.
