Without breaking his transmission, the ground controller asked if the radar operator still had the lock-on because on the scope the distance between two blips had almost doubled in one sweep of the antenna. This indicated that the unknown target had almost doubled its speed in a matter of seconds. For ten minutes the ground radar followed the chase.
And as his fear left him, he could think of no reason why he should stay where he was any longer. Accordingly he pulled himself together and began to walk away. He moved right through the ant army; and the soldiers were powerless to stop him. Just then General Antenna happened to glance over the battle-field. And her sad look at once gave way to one of great joy. "Look!" cried the General.
With Hassan as interpreter, Rick talked to the construction foreman and a plasterer was detailed to help. If the form could be prepared right away, the low desert humidity would harden it enough to use by the time they were through work. The wooden boxes were filled with soft plaster while Rick coated the Egyptian cat with oil used to lubricate the antenna bearings.
"It's no use," the Captain answered. "We've tried that too." General Antenna began to look somewhat worried, knowing that if the army couldn't win the battle before Rusty Wren came home, all would be lost. For no army of ants could stand and fight such a monster as he. "I have it!" the General cried at last. "I've thought of the very thing.... Bring some stepladders!"
At the same moment, certain things were happening in places far away from him. As yet, no unusual object in space had been observed. That would come later. But far away up at the Alaskan radar complex a man on duty watch was relieved by another. The relief man took over the monitoring of the giant, football-field-sized radar antenna that recorded its detections on magnetic tape.
At the Athens broadcasting station transmitter site at Liosia my unit erected a small temporary 'T' antenna which allowed the station to come on the air again, but a short time later, when the ELAS guerrillas overran the area they began using the transmitter to broadcast their own view of events.
"If I do take it up, I'll have to start at the beginning." "That's where most everybody starts," announced Jimmy. "You won't be a bit worse off than we were, will he, fellows?" "I should say not," answered Bob. "When we started, we hardly knew the difference between an antenna and a ground wire. We had our own troubles at first; and we're still having them, as far as that goes.
"There must be lots of stuff down there that puts out radio-frequency signals, even electric shavers and heating pads. How can you eliminate all of it?" "We can't, in the sense of really cutting it out. But the antenna construction takes local interference into account. It's a tight beam design that should prevent overriding of the main signal by any random side effects.
Repeated experiences had taught her, as they teach constantly, that certain signs precede certain events, and that certain dreams are dictated by that delicate antenna of spiritual instinct which feels danger to be near and warns of it. Nanna had had the dream that ever forecast her misfortunes, and she sat thinking of its vague intimations, and tightening her heart for any sorrow.
Thus supposing M to represent a modification acquired in the male and m the absence of the modification, such as the feathered antenna of a moth, and the sex-chromosomes to be X and Y, then we should have in the gametocytes Male Female MM mm Gametes MX, MX: mXmY Zygotes MmXX male, MmXY female,
