1. ““This language is plain; nothing whatever is left for construction. The claim is for the combination of the several parts of the peculiar heater described. Of course it covers equivalents, but to say that a heater which does not combine the essential elements of this device is an equivalent, simply because it communicates sufficient heat to fuse the hydro-carbon, is a mistake. The essential parts of the device are the ‘chamber, provided with a scries of corrugations, and a disk or partition, for causing a circulation of gas through ’ the chamber. ””
