There were many articles written about the underground city of gold from the facts the young inventor furnished. Eventually the Fogers got home, but they did not say much about their experiences, and Tom and his friends did not think it worth while to prosecute them for the attack.
A better example would perhaps be a new watch with its two old stems so related that either could be used for setting the hands or for winding the spring. An inventor, being the first to produce a given organization, and desiring to patent it, may see at once a patentable variation on the device.

It appears from the report of Herr Von Legat, inspector of the Royal Prussian Telegraphs, on the Reis telephone, published in 1862, that the inventor was quite aware of this principle, but his instrument was not well adapted to apply it.

And while Tom Swift is thus engaged in speeding his aircraft along the upper regions toward his home, it will take but a few moments to acquaint my new readers with something of the history of the young inventor.
