          Interference No. 103,446                                                    


          RRIM machine using mica as a filler.  Marsh's notebooks                     
          reflect that he actually prepared such plaques in February and              
          March 1986 and again in early 1988.  Marsh's notebooks were                 
          recognized by Dr. Taylor and Dzikowski as authentic and Bain                
          also recognized the notebooks as being Marsh's.  Dzikowski and              
          Bain's notebooks establish that the plaques containing WG-2                 
          mica from J.M. Huber exhibited a DOI when painted that is                   
          "within about 10 DOI units  of the distinctness of image of                 
          similarly painted steel." Dzikowski's report of February 13,                
          1986, also indicates that polyurethanes filled with mica                    
          exhibited DOI's within the limitations of the count and his                 
          report also indicated he was extremely impressed by the                     
          results for the mica-filled polyurethanes.  Dr. Taylor                      
          recalled having seen Dzikowski's report.  Dzikowski prepared a              
          similar report in May 1986, reflecting the results obtained                 
          for the plaques prepared by Marsh in March 1986.                            
                    The testimony of Dr. Taylor, Dzikowski and Bain                   
          adequately corroborates Sanns' testimony concerning the                     
          production and successful testing in 1986 and again in 1988 of              
          plaques which, when considered with the stipulation concerning              
          the properties of J.M. Huber WG-2 mica, meet all the
