We respectfully submit that in a case of such far reaching importance and absolute novelty, where it is assumed that the doctrine of liberality & construction would be preeminently applicable, purely technical objections to the form of claims should not be rigidly adhered to, as the responsibility for accurately protecting the invention by a form of words is a very serious one.
