Martinoff v. Chapin , 100 F.2d 1017 ( 1938 )

PER curiam:.

In a suit for infringement of a registered copyright on charts showing two positions of automobile chassis as a guide for lubrication thereof, it appearing that the source of the arrangement of information thereon was either charts prepared by the plaintiff for the defendants while in their employ or a source common to both, and that adaptation does not rise to the dignity of authorship, the decree below dismissing the proceeding is hereby affirmed.
