               4Our conclusion that the application is in compliance with             
          the enablement requirement of § 112, first paragraph, should not,           
          however, be taken as an indication that appellants should not be            
          required to amend the specification and drawings as the examiner            
          may deem necessary to provide a complete disclosure.
