"Take a good look at 'em," said Channing. "Might make some working X-ray plates, too. It was a lucky day that these got here before the boys from Terran Electric. I doubt that they'd permit that."
"O.K.," said Charley. "I'll bring the X-ray up here and make some pix. You'll want working prints; Walton will have to take 'em and hang dimensions on to fit."
"And we," said Channing to Walt Franks, "will go to our respective offices and wait until the Terran Electric representatives get here."

"I mean the detection of driver radiation," said Channing.
"Project for the week?" asked Walt. "Brother, we've been tinkering with that idea for months, now."
"Well," said Don, "there goes four drivers, all batting out umpty-ump begawatts of something. They can hang a couple of G on a six-hundred foot hull for hours and hours. The radiation they emit must be detectable; don't tell me that such power is not."
