WISDOM, Circuit Judge.
This is a patent infringement suit, The district court found that there was anticipation and public use and sale of the process embodied in the plaintiff’s Fairchild Patent No. 2,768,101. The patent was therefore null and void. The court held that the defendant Poe, doing business as Poe Roof Company, was not guilty of an infringement. We affirm the judgment.
The appeal presents the question: Was there prior anticipation and public use and sale of the process covered by the Fairchild Patent?
