There never had been anything surprising to her in the fact that light is a conveyor of sound; and that she was receiving a message by such means seemed no more extraordinary to her mind than receiving it by the accepted telephonic service. Every word spoken she heard with the closest attention until as though a cloud had suddenly covered it, the "Sound-Ray" vanished, and the Voice ceased.
Though trade was brisker in Barbie than it had ever been before, Wilson had already done injury to Gourlay's business as general conveyor. But, hitherto, he had not infringed on the gurly one's other monopolies. His chance came at last. He appeared on a market-day in front of the Red Lion, a piece of pinky brown paper in his hand.
He was the genie of that glittering lamp. Fenger about that." "Yes," pointing to a new conveyor, perhaps, "that has just been installed. It's a great help to us. Doubles our shipping-room efficiency. We used to use baskets, pulled by a rope. It's Mr. Fenger's idea." Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency.
Frank Nelsen longed to paste somebody, even in the absence of absolute impoliteness. The blastoff drums were already being lifted off the trucks, weighed, screened electronically, and moved toward a loading elevator on a conveyor. The whole process was automatic. "Nine men ten drums how come?" one of the U.S.S.F. people inquired. "A spare. Its GO carriage charge is paid," Reynolds answered.
With his gun loaded he could face the whole Mercutian planet. Hilary made the return journey to Great New York in an hour. He wormed his way carefully to the nearest conveyor, and made his way openly to the express platform, secure in his disguise. There was an air of unrest, of tension in the air. The Earth passengers no longer sat dully, apathetically, as they were whizzed along.
Markets harmonize supply and demand. They do so through the price mechanism. Money is, thus, a unit of information and a conveyor or conduit of the price signal as well as a store of value and a means of exchange. Markets and scarcity are intimately related. The former would be rendered irrelevant and unnecessary in the absence of the latter.
"We're getting out of here, right away." "But where?" "Ghamma, in an airboat I have outside, and then back to the First Level. Unless there's a paratime-transposition conveyor somewhere nearer." "But why, Vall? I'm not ready to go back; I have a lot of work to do here, yet.
As inland trade was small, prior to the fifteenth century, the use of the wagon, that great destroyer of the road, was but little known. The horse was the chief conveyor of burthen among the Britons, and for centuries after: if we, therefore, consider the great length of time it would take for the rains to form these deep ravages, we must place the origin of Birmingham, at a very early date.
"If she pulls anything of the sort I'll personally see to it that she goes out right after you." "That does me a lot of good," Rat said glumly as Alan's breakfast came rolling toward him on the plastic conveyor belt from the kitchen. Alan laughed and reached avidly for the steaming tray of food. He poured a little of his synthorange juice into a tiny pan for Rat, and fell to.
One of the boys scouted ahead, and returned to report that they could reach the next conduit port, but that the section of both conveyor belts ahead of him was stopped, apparently wedged. Yetsko stood for a moment, grimacing in an effort to reach a decision. "I'd like to just go forward and hit them from behind," he said.
