Appeal No. 97-2412 Application No. 08/330,136 publication entitled “TOYOTA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPAIR INSTRUCTION A341E, November, 1989 (Vol. 63231)."

In the ‘746 application, under the section “DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT,” appellant indicates, referring to Fig. 1, that “there is shown an automatic transmission disclosed in a publication entitled NISSAN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE RL4FO3A - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MANUAL, May, 1989, to which a transmission according to the present invention is applied.” It is noted that the priority document, found in the ‘746 application, includes Figs. 1 through 3.
