This permitted the marksman to raise the silver foresight of his rifle over a black, charred surface until the hairline of the sight fit into the tip of the triangle cut into white paper. It was a pinpoint target that left to the ability of the marksman the exactness of his bead. The tip of the triangle in the paper was not the bull's-eye.
A group of three men were bunched around the Control Section door, packing smashite in the hairline crack around it. That wouldn't do them any good, but it did occupy their attention. I faded back into the cross passage, and keyed the mike. I had to give them a chance. "This is the Captain," I said.
Patiently he once more created his vision of Thorvald, adding every detail he could recall, small things about the other which he had not known that he had noticed the tiny arrow-shaped scar near the base of the officer's throat, the way his growing hair curled at the ends, the look of one eyebrow slanting abruptly toward his hairline when he was dubious about something.
And when the barflies called his talk treasonable, they hadn't been fooling. Brent said, "Identical, gentlemen, even to the finger-prints; to the very last ridge." Pender's eyebrows tried to crawl up his forehead and disappear into his hairline. "That's utterly and completely ridiculous." Brent smiled.

You had it on at half power the velocity goes up as the cube of the power doubling the power, then, gives us eight times the velocity Hmmmmmm." He readjusted the slide rule and slid the hairline over a bit. "We can make ten million light years in a little less than five days at full power. "But I suggest we make another stop in six hours.

In the sunlight it gleamed like polished silver, but they could see a hairline break in the metal encircling the center portion. They had found Roger Hunter's bonanza.
