the Court is the claim held valid in
the FL Campo case few years ago.
The Court held that the former
Van Ness pump was an infringement
of claim 20 ONLY in so far as it in.
Guided the line shaft casing which
performed three particular functions
and that claim 20 could he held valid
only by limiting it to include con.
StructionS in which the line shaft
casing performed all three functions,
quoting from the decision the fol-
lowing extract
1t seems quite clear that THE IDEA
OF A PROTECTIVE CASING FOR
THE PUMP SHAFT WITHOUT RES.
J TRICTTVE INTERPRETATION WOULD
! CONTAIN NO NOVELTY AND WOULD
! NOT BE PATENTABLE, and if this
element in the patent is given the
unrestrictiVe meaning that its Ian
guage admits of, it would destroy
the claim. If so limited. it would,
seem that the protective, casing in
tended to be covered by the claim
was one of the kind described in thu
specifications and having the thre'
functions attributed 10 it by tn
specifications, namely ID to exclud

not be distilled fast enough. For two
days the staff struggled along with

the loss of time. This cooie solved
the problem. In one day and ut n cost
of less than 50 he built a still which
later produced twenty gallons of dis
