A copy of this publication can be seen at Room 109, Patent Office. The outer coating of one of the jars L L' is connected to the lower end of the coil, while the outer coating of the other jar The "curved conducting is connected to the adjustable terminal G. surface" of claim 2 is the knob B and the "conductor of relatively large radius of curvature" is the standard that supports the knob. This is stated to The "coil of closely packed turns" is coil 0. be of uninsulated wire on an insulating core. In other words the reference shows air insulation between the turns where applicant (it is conjectured) shows solid insulation. Hence the convolutions are closely packed in either case, probably as close as may In this rebe consistently with preservation of the insulation. jection of claim 22 it is assumed that "surfaces of large radii" should be a surface of large radius. Claims 7, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 44 are rejected on either the above Oudin reference or on Kincaide, 689,096, of record. The element b at the left of the figure in the latter reference is the "conducting surface ... supported from the inner or under side". In the Oudin reference, said element is the knob B. 3. Claims 11, 12, 38 and 39 are rejected on any of the references cited in the foregoing part of this letter. Claim 21 is rejected on the above cited Kincaide reference. Claim 34 is rejected on the above cited Oudin reference in connection with any patent showing a grounded oscillator, for example either of applicant's patents of record. Claims 6 and 8 are allowed. Claims 15, 16, 20, 23, 24 and 25 will be allowed if 37140 42
