                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Carlton Whiteford appeals from the final rejection (Paper              
          No. 19) of claims 16, 19 and 20.  Claims 1 through 15 and 18                
          stand allowed, and claim 17, the only other claim pending in                
          the application, stands objected to as depending from a                     
          rejected base claim.                                                        
                                   THE INVENTION
