               In this request for rehearing (Paper No.28), appellants                
          question the underlying decision (page 3) of this panel of the              
          Board regarding the treatment given claims as to their standing             
          or falling together.  Appellants also seek reconsideration of the           
          sustaining of the rejection of claim 27 and of perceived                    
          inconsistencies in the treatment of some claims.
