SMITH, Judge.
This is an appeal by Rimbach from the decision of the Board of Patent Interferences awarding priority of invention to Wanmaker et ah, hereafter Wan-maker, in Interference No. 92,659.
The interference involves the Wan-maker application, serial No. 851,359, filed November 6, 1959, and Rimbach application, serial No. 810,626, filed May 4, 1959.

Rimbach thus became the junior party and took the only testimony…
