          Application No. 08/235,235                                                  


                                      APPENDIX                                        


               1.   A process for producing a resistive element,                      
          comprising:                                                                 
               (A) forming a substrate glazed with glass;                             
               (B) printing or coating a resistive element-forming                    
          paste onto said substrate glazed with glass;                                
               (C) calcining the paste in a first heating step by                     
          maintaining said paste at a first temperature level to                      
          decompose and eliminate organic substances in the coated paste              
          without interaction between the coated paste and the glass to               
          form an element comprising a film on said substrate glazed                  
          with glass; and                                                             
               (D) subjecting the resulting element to a heat treatment               
          in a second heating step at a second temperature higher than                
          said first temperature level to diffuse an amount of the glass              
          into said film to increase resistivity of said element.                     



               28. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein conditions                
          of said heat treatment are selected to control resistivity of               
          said element.                                                               










                                          8
