          Appeal No. 97-0315                                                          
          Application 08/336,181                                                      


               The disclosed invention relates to a high voltage power                
          supply that includes a high voltage output terminal and an                  
          input terminal for receiving power for the power supply.  A                 
          voltage multiplier is provided for operating on an alternating              
          voltage signal to generate high voltage across positive and                 
          negative polarity terminals.  Means are provided for                        
          physically moving the whole multiplier circuit in response to               
          an electrical instruction signal between a first position                   
          where the positive terminal is electrically connected to the                
          high voltage output terminal, and a second position where the               
          negative polarity is electrically connected to the high                     
          voltage terminal.                                                           
               Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                       
               1.   A high voltage power supply, comprising:                          
               a high voltage output terminal;                                        
               input means for providing a voltage signal;                            
               a rotatable plate;                                                     
               a unitary voltage multiplier circuit mounted on said                   
          plate, said voltage multiplier circuit having an input                      
          terminal means and an output terminal means including a                     
          positive and a negative terminal for operating on said voltage              
          signal to generate a high voltage between said positive and                 
          negative terminals; and                                                     

                                         -2-
