Most-quoted passages

“We agree with Anderson that application of the rule of reason in this case compels the conclusion that the notebook entries of Merckling [the deceased] corroborate the inventors’ testimony that a solid polymer was produced. The entries were thoroughly authenticated, a complete foundation for admissibility was laid, and the entrant was unavailable to testify. The circumstances surrounding the making of the entries are in this case convincing as to reliability of the entries for their truth. [Emphasis added.]”
