SMITH, Judge
(dissenting in part, with whom RICH, J., joins).
I think the rejection of claims 1-3 of each of the two appealed applications as unpatentable over the prior art was proper, and I agree with the majority that that aspect of the board’s decisions should be affirmed.
However, the rejection of all claims in each application as based on an inadequate disclosure is indefensible. See my opinions in appeal No. 7284; 347 F.2d 557 and appeal No. 7295, 347 F.2d 563 both decided concurrently herewith. Accordingly, I would reverse the rejection of claim 4 in 7365 and claim 6 in 7366.
