"No need to worry about that. We've sent loaded springs before. Now,
people, stand back and we'll go on the air."

Don Channing himself inspected the machinery to see that nothing

was wrong. He nodded at Walt Franks at the receiver, and then
started the initial operations. "We are synchronizing the two
machines," he said. "Absolute synchronization is necessary. Ready,
Walt?"
"Right!"
Channing pushed a button. There was a minute, whirring hum, a
crackle of ozone, very faint, and the almost-imperceptible wave of
heat from both machines. "Now," said Walt Franks, "we'll see."
He opened the cabinet and reached in with a flourish.
His face fell. It turned rosy. He opened his mouth to speak, but
nothing but choking sounds came forth. He spluttered, took a deep
breath, and then shook his head in slow negation. Slowly, like a boy
coming in for a whipping, Walt took out the judge's watch. He handed
it to Don.
Don, knowing from Walt's expression that something was very, very
wrong, took the watch gingerly, but quickly. He hated to look and was
burning with worried curiosity at the same time.
In all three dimensions, the watch had lost its shape. It was no longer
a lenticular object, but had a very faint sine wave in its structure. The
round case was distorted in this wave, and the face went through the
same long swell and ebb as the case. The hands maintained their
distance from this wavy face by conforming to the sine-wave contour
of the watch. And Channing knew without opening the watch that the
insides were all created on the sine-wave principle, too. The case
wouldn't have opened, Don knew, because it was a screw-on case,
and the threads were rippling up and down along with the case and
cover. The knurled stem wouldn't have turned, and as Channing
shook the watch gently, it gave forth with one—and only one—tick as
the slack in the distorted balance wheel went out.
He faced the judge. "We seem—"
"You blasted fools and idiots!" roared the judge. "Nine of them—!"
He turned and stiffly went to his seat. Channing returned to the
witness chair.
"How do you explain that?" roared Judge Hamilton.
"I can only think of one answer," offered Channing in a low voice. "We
made the power supplies out of power and voltage transducers and
filtered the output for sixty cycles. Buffalo is still using twenty-five-
cycle current. Since the reactances of both capacity and inductance
vary according to the—"
"Enough of this!" roared Hamilton. "I—No, I may not say it. I am on
the bench and what I am thinking would bring impeachment. Proceed
Attorney Kingman."
Kingman took the cue, and before anyone realized that it was still
Tinkin's floor, he opened.
"Dr. Channing, you can send a gallon of gasoline through this, ah, so-
called matter transmitter?"
"Naturally."
"Then, your honor, it is my contention that no matter what the means
or the intent, this instrument utilizes the sub-etheric effects to transmit
energy! It is seldom possible to transmit power over the same carriers
that carry communications—only very specialized cases prevail, and
they are converted to the job. But this thing is universal. Perhaps it
does transmit intelligence. It will and can be used to transmit energy!
Matter, your honor, is energy! That, even the learned opponent will
admit. We have our own means of transmitting power—this is another
—and no matter what is intended, power and energy will be
transmitted over its instruments.
"Since this machine transmits energy, I ask that you rule that it fall
under that classification. I rest my case."
Hamilton nodded grumly. Then he fixed Tinkin with an ice-cold stare.
"Have you anything to offer that may possibly be of any interest to
me?"
Tinkin shook his head. He was still stunned.
"I shall deliver my ruling in the morning. I am overwrought and must
rest. Adjourned until tomorrow morning."

The only sounds in the room were the tinkle of glassware and the
occasional moan of utter self-dislike. Channing sat with his glass in
his hand and made faces as he lifted it. Franks matched his mood.
Both of them were of the type that drinks only when feeling good
because it made them feel better. When they drank while feeling low,
it made them feel lower, and at the present time they were about as
far down as they could get. They knew it; they took the liquor more as
a local anaesthetic than anything else. Arden, whose disappointment
was not quite as personal as theirs, was not following them drink for
drink, but she knew how they felt and was busying herself with glass,
ice, and bottle as they needed it.
It was hours since the final let-down in the court. They knew that they
could appeal the case, and probably after a hard fight they would win.
It might be a year or so before they did, and in the meantime they
would lose the initial control over the matter transmitter. They both felt
that having the initial introduction in their hands would mean less
headache than having Terran Electric exploit the thing to the bitter
end as quickly as possible.
The fact of sunrise—something they never saw on Venus Equilateral
—did not interest them one bit. It grew light outside, and as the first
glimmerings of sunrise came, a knock on their door came also.
"Mice," hissed Walt.
"S'nock on door."
"Mice knocking on door?"
"Naw."
"Mice gnawing on door?"
"It's Wes Farrell," announced Arden, opening the door.
"Let'm in. S'all right, Wes. Anyone c'n make mishtake."
"He's sober."
"Gettum drink," said Don. "Gettum drink—gettum drunk."
"Look, fellows, I'm sorry about that fool mistake. I've been working on
the judge's ticker. I've fixed it."
"Fitched it?" asked Walt, opening his eyes wide.
"Close 'em—Y'll bleed t' death," gurgled Don.
Farrell dangled the judge's watch before them. It was perfect. It
ticked, it ran, and though they couldn't possibly have seen the hands
from a distance of more than nine inches, it was keeping perfect time.
Don shook his head, moaned at the results of the shaking, put both
hands on his head to hold it down, and looked again. "How'ja do it?"
"Made a recording of the transmitted signal. Fixed the power-supply
filters first. Then took the recording—"
"On whut?" spluttered Walt.
"On a disk like the alloy-tuners in the communications beams.
Worked fine. Anyway, I recorded the signal, and then started to buck
out the ripple by adding some out-of-phase hum to cancel the ripple."
"Shounds reas'n'ble."
"Worked. I had a couple of messes, though."
"Messessesesss?" hissed Walt, losing control over his tongue.
"Yes. Had a bit of trouble making the ripple match." Farrell pulled
several watches from his pocket. "This one added ripple. It's quite
cockeyed. This one had cross-ripple and it's really a mess. It sort of
looks like you feel, Walt. I've got 'em with double ripples, triple ripples,
phase distortion, over-correction, and one that reminds me of a
pancake run through a frilling machine."
Channing looked at the collection of scrambled watches and
shuddered. "Take'm away—brrrrrr."
Arden covered the uninspiring things with a tablecloth.
"Thanks," said Don.
"Do you think the judge'll forgive us?" asked Farrell.
"Don't say it," said Walt, bursting with laughter.
"I don't have to," chortled Don.
"They're both hysterical," explained Arden.
"Carbogen and Turkish bath," said Don. "And quick! Arden, call us a
taxi."
"You're both taxis," giggled Arden. "O.K., fellows. Can do." She went
to the phone and started to call.
Farrell looked uncomprehendingly at Walt and then at Don, and
shook his head. "Mind telling me?" he pleaded.
"Wes, you're a million!" roared Channing, rolling on the floor.
Farrell turned to Arden.
"Let them alone," she said. "Something probably pleases them highly.
We'll find out later—Yes? Operator? Will you call a cab for Room
719? Thanks."

Attorney Tinkin faced Judge Hamilton with a slight smile. "Prior to

your ruling, I wish to present you with your watch. Also I ask
permission to sum up my case—an act which I was unprepared to do
last evening."
Hamilton reached for the watch, but Tinkin kept it.
"You may state your case—but it will make little difference in my
ruling unless you can offer better evidence than your opponent."
"Thank you," said Tinkin. He made a show of winding the watch, and
he set it accurately to the court clock on the wall. "Your honor, a
telegram is a message. It requires energy for transmission. A letter
also requires energy for carrying and delivery. A spacegram requires
the expenditure of great energy to get the message across. The case
in hand is this: If the energy is expended in maintaining the contact,
then communications are involved. But when the energy is expected
to be used on the other side—and the energies transmitted are far
above and beyond those necessary for mere maintenance of contact,
it then may be construed that not the contact but the transmittal of
energy is desired, and power transmission is in force."
Tinkin swung Hamilton's watch by the chain.
"The matter of sending flowers by telegram is not a matter of taking a
bouquet to the office and having the items sent by electricity to
Northern Landing. A message is sent—an order to ship or deliver. It
makes no difference whether the order be given in person or sent by
spacegram. It is a communication that counts. In this device, a
communication is sent which directs the device to produce a replica
of the transmitted object. Ergo it must fall under the realm of
communications. I will now demonstrate this effect, and also one
other effect which is similar to telegraphic communications."
Tinkin ignored Hamilton's outstretched hand, and put the watch in the
cabinet. Hamilton roared, but Tinkin held up a hand to stop him. "I
assure you that this will cause no ill effects. We have repaired the
damage."
"For every minute of delay between now and the moment I receive
my watch, I shall fine you one hundred dollars for contempt of court."
"Well worth it," smiled Tinkin.
Channing pressed the switch.
Click! went the receiver, and from a slide, Channing removed the
judge's watch. With a flourish, he started it, and handed it to the
judge, who glared.
"Now," added Tinkin, "I wish to add—
Click!
"—two objects may be similar in form—
Click!
"—but can not be identities!
Click!
"However, two communications—
Click!
"—may be dissimilar in form—
Click!
"—but identical in meaning!
Click!
"We have before us—
Click!
"—a condition where—
Click!
"—identical messages are—
Click!
"—being reproduced in identical form—
Click!
"—just like a bunch of—
Click!
"—carbon copies!"
Click!
"The production rate of which—
Click!
"—will be high enough—
Click!
"—to lower the cost—
Click!
"—of this previously rare item—
Click!
"—until it is well within the reach of all."
Click!
"Just as in communications—
Click!
"—we may send an order—
Click!
"—directing the fabrication—
Click!
"—of several hundred similar items!
Click!
"And our supplier will bill us—
Click!
"—for them later!"
Brrr-rup!
"That last buzz or burp was a signal that we have reached the end of
our matter bank. Our credit, for example, has run out. However, Dr.
Channing is about to make a substantial deposit with the
manufacturer, and we will resume operations later. I ask you—
Click!
"—can you do this with energy?"
Click!
"Stop that infernal—
Click!
"—machine before I have you all held for disrespect, perjury,
contempt of court, and grand larceny!" yelled the judge.
Channing stopped the machine and started to hand out the carbon-
copy watches to the audience, who received them with much glee.
Kingman came to life at this point. He rose from his chair and started
to object, but he was stopped by Tinkin who leaned over and
whispered:
"My worthy and no doubt learned opponent, I'd advise that you keep
your magnificent oratory buttoned tight in those flapping front teeth of
yours. If we all get into that gadget—how would you like to fight ten or
twelve of us?"

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner

REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE

Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
