                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                 
          through 25.  These claims constitute all of the claims in the               
          application.                                                                


               Appellant's invention pertains to a friction device and to a           
          method of assembling a brake stack.  A basic understanding of the           
          invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 1 and           
          25, respective copies of which appear in the "[AMENDED] APPENDIX
