The examiner does not believe that there is any foundation for the inference drawn by applicant to the effect that the engine shown in the French patent to Jablochkoff is a mere conventional representation of the piston and cylinder of an ordinary engins such as commonly emploved for driving machinery. On the contrary, the inference is all the other way, especially in view of the fact that reciprocating engines without fly wheels were common and well known at the time said patent was granted.
