"Sure ... surges  backlash. Remote it." "Check. Remote everything to Baby Two, and    " "Would you mind delousing _your_ signal?" Adams asked, caustically. "'Scuse, please, Doc. A guy does talk better in his own lingo, doesn't he? Well, Graham wire is one point three millimeter diameter, ultra high tensile steel wire. Used for re wrapping the Grahams, you know." "No, I don't know. What are Grahams?" "Why, they're the intermediates between the Chaytors SURE SURGES BACKLASH REMOTE IT CHECK REMOTE EVERYTHING TO BABY TWO AND WOULD YOU MIND ELAUSING YOUR SIGNAL ADAMS ASKED CAUSTICALLY EXCUSE PLEASE DOC A GUY DOES TALK BETTER IN HIS OWN LINGO DOESN'T HE WELL GRAND WIRE IS A ONE POINT THREE MILLIMETER DIAMETER ULTRA HIGH TINSEL STEEL WIRE USED FOR REWRAPPING THE GRAMS YOU KNOW NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE GRAMS WHY THEY'RE THE INTERMEDIUS BETWEEN THE CHEATERS
t, but did consent to forego the high math. "The discharge _is_ catastrophic; in energy equivalent something of the order of magnitude of ten thousand discharges of lightning. And, unfortunately, I do _not_ know what it is. It is virtually certain, however, that we will be able to dissipate it in successive decrements by the use of long, thin leads extending downward toward a high point of the planet." "Wire, you mean? What kind?" "The material is not important except in that it should have sufficient tensile strength to support as many miles as possible of its own length." "We've got dozens of coils of hook-up wire," Deston said, "but not too many _miles_ and it's soft stuff." "_Graham_ wire!" Jones snapped his finger. "Of course," Deston agreed. "Hundreds of miles of it. Float the senser down on a Hotchkiss----" "Tear-out." Jones objected. "Bailey it--spidered out to twenty or so big, flat feet. That'll take metal, but we can cannibal the whole Middle without weakening the structure.
