The sunlight was pouring in through the window as he bent over his desk nursing thoughts that were vermin in his brain.

Slings lowered the bundles down to waiting trucks which would carry them elsewhere. There were mixing trucks still pouring out their white paste for the lining of the rocket tubes, and their product went up and vanished into the gaping mouths of the giant wire-wound pipes.
