( b .) It must contain the detailed representation of the discovery, invention, or improvement stated in effect in the petition.
(c.) It must be so drawn up that every professional would be able to manufacture the article in accordance therewith, without having recourse to new inventions, additions, or improvements. id.) That which is new, and consequently the article to be patented, must be distinctly shown in the specification, or be accurately distinguished.
(e.) The discovery, invention, or improvement must be shown clearly and distinctly, without ambiguities which could mislead, and which are contrary to the object stated under (c.).

(y.) If drawings, samples, or models are necessary for the intelligibility of the specification, these must be enclosed, executed in a durable colour. They may, besides, be added at the pleasure of the applicant for a patent, in so far as the distinctness of the specification drawn up in accordance with
