758 where such correction would be needed might be overlooked and the specification would contain conflicting uses of the terms, leading to series confusion. However, if the Examiner insists we will conform with his views on the subject. As to claims 22 and 23, it is believed that the Examiner has not appreciated the fact that the surfaces in which the "outermost houndries" lie are ideal surfaces, - the ones referred to in the sentence quoted above, although the individual elements themselves may be of small radii of curvature or small curvature. As clearly set forth in the specification the applicant aims at obtaining a very large aggregate area, of the elements which lie on an enveloping or ideal surface of large curvature, and the advantages of the invention will be secured if the aggregate outer conducting surface is large although the individual elements of same way be of small radius of curvature. The Examiner will therefore see that claims 22 and 23, while they may differ in scope, do not differ in species. Reconsideration is requested. 63 Very respectu Ken.
