`
`Applicants have amended claims 33, 35 and 60 to correct minor
`
`grammatical errors within the claims, as allowed.
`
`Also, submitted herewith are Supplemental Declarations Under 37 CFR
`
`Section 1.63 for each of the named inventors in the application.
`
`With the Amendment mailed December 2, 1997, a Declaration of Prior
`
`Invention Under 37 CFR Section 1.131 of inventor Glenn W. Hutton was
`
`submitted. At that time, the petition to add inventors Mattaway and Strickland
`
`had not yet been granted. Upon recommendation of the USPTO Solicitor's
`
`Office, Applicants now submit herewith Supplemental Declarations of Prior
`
`Invention Under 37 CFR Section 1.131 of subsequently named inventors
`
`Mattaway and Strickland. These Declarations of Prior Invention of inventors
`
`Mattaway and Strickland corroborate and confirm the Declaration of Prior
`
`Invention of inventor Hutton.
`
`Applicants also submit herewith formal drawings for Figs. 1-9 and a Letter
`
`to the Official Draftsman.
`
`No new matter or substantive issues are believed raised by this
`
`amendment.
`
`In light of the foregoing amendments and remarks, this application
`
`is now believed in condition for issuance and the Examiner is respectfully
`
`requested to advance this application to issuance.

`If the Examiner has any
