The final product will be the equations with which the technologists can begin actual system design. In other words, we are working only on the first theoretical step." "But the newspaper article said the scientists were affected by a gadget," Scotty objected. "The article was wrong. Paper covered with mathematical computations can scarcely affect anyone," Hartson Brant said decisively.
"How long is it since Miss Hope went in there?" "How long, sir? I'd say about twenty minutes before you came. Maybe twenty-five. I wasn't paying any particular attention, sir. She just got the key and went in. After a few minutes I heard something buzzing in there, and I thought maybe Mr. Butler was showing her some new gadget of his, like he was always doing.
"This is Soames," he said very distinctly. "I've got a tip for you. Pretend that you want to make something like the gadget that stops winds and warms places. You know the thing."

By the time I was twelve years old, that toy of yours couldn't have registered a reaction from me that I didn't want it to show." Quillan slipped the toy back in his pocket.

We only have a week to do it in, but we've got some combat tactics to show them on the training gadget in the Shed." He added anxiously, "And, sir they'll have to take the Moonship off in a spiral orbit. She can't go straight up! That means she's got to pass over enemy territory, and we've got to have a real escort for her. A fighting escort.
"North American Carbide & Metals," said Thorn quietly, "is not a member of any patent pool, Mr. Sorensen." "I know," Sorensen said agreeably. "Battery patents are trickier than automotive machinery patents. That's why I'm doing this my way. I'm not selling the gadget as such. I'm selling results.
Other parts were stacked on a table. "Know anything about one of these gadgets?" Stan asked Swen. "Gadget?" Swen repeated in a British accent. "Yank word for machine," Stan explained. "No, I have never seen one before," Swen replied. Herr Domber stood around for a little while, then made off. Stan grinned at Swen. He had decided to work upon the kid.
