"Why get so far ahead?"
"Look, Thomas Lionel, we did it because it was cheaper not to tie up the die-caster's shop in weekly driblets rather than get the whole order in a lump. Now—what do we do about regeneration?"
"Anybody can clear up regeneration," snapped Lionel.
"Good—you show us how. That's what we're retaining you for. Your developments and whatever technical assistance is required."
Thomas Lionel looked up, and scanned each face at the big table. "From left to right, can you state your problems?" he asked.
"Plating specs on the genedyne."
"Problem in suspension during process."
"Can plus or minus fifteen percent electrical components be used in place of ten percents?"
"We still require the alignment procedure."
Thomas held up a hand. "O.K., fellows. Submit your problems in writing and I'll furnish the answers in twenty-four hours."
