                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 13-19             
          and 24-32.  Claims 20-23, the only other claims remaining in the            
          present application, have been objected to by the examiner as               
          being dependent upon rejected claims.  Claims 13, 14 and 30 are             
          illustrative:                                                               
               13. A tundish having a normal maximum operating level of               
          molten steel therein, said tundish comprising:                              
               a floor having an outlet, a pour zone, and side walls                  
          extending upwardly from said floor, said side walls extending               
                                         -1-
