The Examiner is correct to the extent that, in general, a mere duplication of parts does not evidence patentability without a showing of a new and unexpected result. See In re Harza, 274 F.2d 669, 671 (CCPA 1960) (holding that providing a plurality of ribs extending between a web and an adjacent concrete slab is obvious in view of a prior art reference showing one such rib). Here, however, the Examiner's modification is not a duplication of an existing part. Rather, it is a duplication and modification of an existing part, as the recited storage and inspection guide tubes are connected between different components.
