               The decision of the examiner is reversed.

          adjusting mechanism.  As we see it, one of ordinary skill in the            
          art would still understand this form of Koyama simulator to be              
          rocked to its lateral positions, as earlier discussed, unlike the           
          Honda simulator.  The Honda simulator of Figs. 3 and 4 clearly              
          reveals an arrangement of horizontally oriented hydraulic                   
          cylinders 3, not the claimed actuators disposed in an erected               
          posture.
