350 721,790 2. should be to set forth an invention and not a principle, which is not a statutory invention. Applicant should disclose the device for effecting synchronous movement of the generator G and cylinder A, in order that the statutory requirement that the disclosure of an invention should be so full and clear as to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the same, may be complied with. Claims 1, 2 and 3 cover a method different from that set forth in the statement of invention between lines 5 and 12, page 6, for the reason that they do not include as the first step of the process the producing of electrical disturbances or effects. The statement of invention above referred to sets forth the producing of the disturbances or effects as one of the steps of the method. Claims 1, 2 and 3 are rejected on each of the references cited in the previous office action. These claims cover nothing more than the substitution of a condenser for the storage battery in the references cited, as they do not include the artificial production of the electrical disturbances or effects and consequently cover such disturbances or effects produced naturally as well as artificially. Claims 1 and 2 are substantially the same and hence one is unnecessary and should be cancelled. Claims 9 and 10 are also substantially the same and hence one should be cancelled. The fact that claim 10 does not include the words "or intermitted" does not result in a material difference between this claim and claim 9, inasmuch as said words in claim 9 cannot add anything to the scope of said claim, as otherwise said claim, as well as claims 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12, would be alternative and therefore objectionable.
