T # 371,817. Lines 8 to 12, page 10, must be canceled for reasons similar to those just stated. The spelling of "boundaries" at the top of page 11 should be corrected. 2. The alternatives in many of the claims are objectionable as "inner or under side", claim 7, "sections or elements" in claim 8, "conducting boundaries or capacity elements" in claim 11. See also claims 12, 37 and 40 for similar instances. It is presumed that the "insulated conductor" of claim 4 is the coil B in Fig. 5, but the examiner does not find in the specification any statement that it is insulated. Full explanation is required. The examiner does not find the "plurality of ... surfaces, each having a relatively large radius of curvature" of claim 9. The surfaces p do not have a large radius of curvature. See line 3 from the bottom of page 5 where they are referred to as "small half spherical metal plates p p". It is questioned whether applicant can make this claim. It is desired that claim 10 be pointed out by applicant. Where is there shown a plurality of conducting surfaces of relatively large radii of curvature in combination with one or more surfaces of smaller radii of curvature? Claims 11, 12 and 15 to 27, inclusive, are subject to questions similar to those here directed against claims 9 and 10. It is believed that the general contour of the element D constitutes only one surface. Claims 1 and 5 are rejected on the patentto Luscomb, et al., 578,825, March 16, 1897, Class 173, Insulators, Conductor Holders. Claims 2, 3, 4, 22, 35, 36, 37, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 45 are rejected on the Oudin resonator disclosed on page 15 et seq. of 34 3 7141 737
