She gave them her grid card and took theirs, making them promise to come see her.
Since he couldn't leave Boston by automobile, Boston being walled up like any city by the streetless suburbs, he saved his allowance until he could commercial-grid his car to another city.
Gridco could not remove a grid even though the subscriber refused to pay his quarterly bill.
His pre-grid automobile and airplane were his only diversions.
There he raced and squealed and spun through the deserted streets of centercity until he had saved enough to commercial-grid the car elsewhere.
She had hardly vacated the grid when Elka appeared.
Ferren would order breakfast and keep the silver to turn in from his own grid for the deposit.
Brendel had appeared on their grid a year before, a dark, pugnacious young man, jittering and nervous.
The grid was held by law to be essential to human existence in the twisting, walled alleys of suburbia.
This grid furnishes a very delicate control of the strength of the electric current between plate and filament.
But the most important part of the audion, the part for which Deforest is responsible, is the third element, which is a grid or flat coil of platinum wire placed between the filament and the plate.
The slightest change in electric power in the grid will produce large changes of power in the current flowing through the audion.
Grid Bingham or John Craft would throw him out of the window in a week.
Something cracked, and Grid and his desk went sprawling into the middle of the floor.
Craft, who had been amazed at the suddenness of the catastrophe, and who was to have shared in the fight, if necessary, arose hesitatingly just as Grid received his quietus.
My Valdy said that when Grid gathered himself up the first time, he went heels over head, clear to the fire-place.
I never would have believed that these little fifty-meter waves could carry that far with only a two-foot grid for an aerial.
B); against this grid the seed cotton is held whilst the fibres are drawn through, the seeds being left behind.
His body struck, twitched; bounced back and sank inert on the floor-grid almost at my feet.
My light was cut off; my gridshowed only the blank deck and door.
Its name-grid glowed with the letters: "Anita Prince.
It seemed as though that little oval grid were the gateway to a fairyland of my dreams.
Upon my grid the image of the lounge interior presently focused.
A cast-iron grid prevents the lumps of carbide falling into the sludge in the conical base of the generator.
A great improvement, however, is made if the grid is carried on a horizontal spindle in such a way that it can be rocked periodically in order to assist in freeing the lumps of carbide from the adhering particles of lime.
This was finished just before the top brass arrived but when the phones were connected all that could be heard was a loud 50 cycle hum; the wires had been placed beneath and almost parallel with the overhead grid system cables.
Overhead traversing the length of the fort were the high tension cables of the electricity grid system and on damp days touching the metal parts of vehicles parked beneath them would produce a mild shock.
At length I saw the grid within the door to be slid back very warily, and by a faint access of light perceived that the porter bore a taper, as being unwilling to open to one he knew not, or could not see.
After some minutes thus spent, the grid opened, and behind the bars was Idonia facing me and very pale.
But in the river-wall, when I looked, I could perceive no grid nor aperture of such sort as Idonia had spoken, and for some moments remained as one lost, for mere disappointment.
It was designed to be carried on the grid of a motor car--and so it was, for many miles of shell-torn roads!
The wee bit piano was lashed to the grid of the second car.
He never wavered in tune, though he got some sad jouncings as he clung to the grid of a swift-moving car.
At one end of the room was a long counter with an iron gridprotecting those behind it.
It began to descend; the landing-grid had locked onto it with projected force-fields and was drawing it down to ground.
A voice said: "All secure in the grid office, sir.
When it came into sight at the spaceport it was less than four thousand feet high and it went sweeping for the landing-grid at something over mach one.
Call the defense forces," Bors commanded the grid office, by transmitter.
Most likely its program was simply and frighteningly to appear overhead and arrogantly demand the services of the landing-grid to lower it to the ground.
That's what I did, using the edge of a nail file for a ruler, drawing my grid carefully on the paper bag, and a matching one on the picture, using the blunt tip of a dead pen to make a grid of indentations in the surface of the photo.
Bite down on this," he said, and helped me stand in the tub and face into the corner, to count the grid of tiles and the greenish mildew in the grout.
For the first three months, trapping on House Field was done with a 20 foot grid and throughout the remainder of the study a 30 foot grid was used.
At the beginning of the study the traps were set in a grid with intervals of 20 feet.
On the other hand, the Fitch traps were 50 feet apart and voles seemed to have lived within the grid for several months before being captured.
Individuals which included the edge of the trap grid in their range were excluded unless a barrier existed (see description of habitat) confining the seeming range to the study area.
As to the small particles which fall through the grid upon the chest B, supplied also with a stream of water, they descend successively upon two other brass wire sieves, and also through the iron wire r, in the bottom of B.
A is the pot, resting upon the arched grid b a, built of fire-bricks, whose apertures are wide enough to let the flames rise freely, and strike the bottom and sides of the vessel.
The cotton wool in the blowing machine is wafted by the second scutcher into the space x, w w, provided with a fine grid bottom; or it is sometimes wound up there by rollers into a lap.
The heavy impurities fall down through the grid bottom.
The second scutcher throws down the heavy dust upon the second grid n', through which it falls upon the bottom of the case.
One of the men was dead, his head bandage torn loose, and the grid ripped out of his skull.
There was no need for them, for scanners formed a protective grid over the area.
Have you ever wondered, Captain Hunter, what might happen if the platinum gridwas not removed from a patient's brain?
If you wish to leave a message--" Hunter saw the telltale grid wire in the stranger's forehead.
Around and above it the grid rose like geometric fantasy to veil most of the starry sky.
The grid operator had brought away certain essential small parts of the grid control system.
He saw the topmost silvery beams and girders of the landing grid still glowing in sunshine which no longer reached down to the planet's solid ground.
There was no smoke, because electricity from the grid provided all the planet's power and heat, and there were no chimneys.
There must be obedience to the utmost--" The grid operator cursed as he rose from the floor.
He saw the strange steel embroidery of the landing grid rising to the height of a minor mountain against the sky.
And to make it and to distribute it--" The grid operator growled.
There were moving lights on the highway to the city at the moment Calhoun and the grid operator went into the Med Ship and closed the air-lock door behind them.
Then there came the sudden solid feeling when the grid locked on.
Let's get this grid fixed so it can't work and--" There was a succession of loud clicks from a speaker unit on the wall.
While thegrid operator obeyed, Calhoun read and reread the strip of tape.
The grid operator stood with clenched hands, contemplating the intolerable and the monstrous.
The landing-grid operator was holding it aloft, but Calhoun could move it in evasive action if he wished.
The grid operator said in a deadly voice: "Maybe I can get to him and kill him before--" Calhoun shook his head.

If the active material in the negative plates extend beyond the ribs of the grid (the supporting frame), it should be at once pressed back into place, care being taken to prevent the plates drying before this is done.
The negative or iron plate consists of a grid of cold rolled steel, nickel plated, holding a number of rectangular pockets filled with powdered iron oxide.
The positive plate is of double grid construction, and the negative plate consists of a special staggered grid.
The tubes are flanged at both ends and held in perfect contact with a steel supporting frame or grid made of cold rolled steel, nickel plated.
After the pockets are filled they are inserted in the grid and subjected to great pressure between dies which corrugate the surface of pockets and force them into good contact with the grid.
This form of plate is constructed by attaching the active material by some mechanical means to a grid proper.
Well, Uncle Grid turned into work all the energy the rest of them spent in deviltry.
It looks this way, she says, as though Uncle Grid inherited his father's physical make-up complete, and spent all his life fighting it .
And Professor Grid always looked like him some, anyhow.
Yep, a lot of us fellows always thought old Grid a little too good to be true.
Why, she says Uncle Grid was just like his father.
Like Grandfather Gridley, of course; but then Uncle Grid always did look like his father.
You know how much Uncle Grid used to look like grandfather .
Do you know why Uncle Gridlived so poor and scrimped and yet left no money?
Midway in the baking the position of cakes can be changed, those on the grid itself set low on the broiler and vice versa so all will cook evenly.
Slip under the grid on the bottom of the oven a dripping pan half full of water to keep the bird moist, and prevent any fat leaking through in case the bag should burst.
Put in a well-greased bag, seal, place on the grid shelf in a hot oven, and cook for ten or fifteen minutes according to the thickness of the chop.
Slip on to the lid of a pot or flat tin held just beneath the grid and thence to the heated platter.
Seal the mouth of the bag, and cook about ten minutes on the wire grid in a hot oven.
Season lightly with salt and pepper, put in well-greased bag, seal, place on grid in very hot oven and cook from fifteen to eighteen minutes, according to thickness of steak.
Now carefully lay the bag on the grid shelves or wire broilers--never on solid shelves, being careful to place the seam side of the bag up.
Sending the others to the mouth of the exit, he cautiously crept towards the tank in which were deposited the scrapings from the grid which filtered the molten rock.
Stooping she lifted the iron grid of the drain and thrust in her hand.
The molten matter was led by ducts in the ground through a grid of some metal, evidently highly refractory to heat, for it appeared to do no more than glow white-hot even in the terrific temperature of the melted rock.
After passing through this grid the molten matter was led to the bed of the stream, from which the water had in some manner been cut off, and flowed out the way Dick and his companions had entered.
Dick could not guess, but every now and again one of the men would walk to the grid and with a long implement shaped like a hoe would scrape off something adhering to the bars, which he deposited in a big tank of water.
So the grid will be positive and the filament negative.
As the grid becomes positive the current rises above this value.
This means that the grid doesn't have its ordinary number of electrons and so is positive.
Then we shift the slider in the grid circuit so as to give the grid a small potential.
Take the wire which comes from the grid and put a battery clip on it, then you can connect the grid anywhere you want along this series of batteries.
Making the grid more positive after that will not increase the plate current any.
As the grid becomes more and more positive the current in the plate circuit increases.
Because the plate circuit is coupled to the grid circuit the grid is again affected and so there is a still larger effect in the plate circuit.
As electrons leave plate 1 of this condenser others rush away from the grid and enter plate 2.
A small effect in the grid circuit produces a large effect in the plate circuit.
Illustration: Fig 21] One member of the Council jumped up and said "But what if the grid is made negative?
All this makes the grid more positive and so makes it call all the more effectively to help the plate move electrons.
Of course, some of them came from the grid and as fast as electrons get back to the gridit becomes less and less positive.
Next we move the clip so as to make the grid as positive as one battery will make it, that is we move the clip to a in Fig.
At his own convenience, Lonnie selected his night; a full-moon night because his now-invisible grid suit didn't require dark.
Also, occasionally, manipulating the field of the grid to permit mechanical contact with the physical world was a trifle cumbersome but never annoyingly so.
Inside the all-encompassing, roasting gridof the melting suit, Lonnie writhed.
That power pack and the reciprocating properties of the fields of the grid suit itself made a dilly of a combination.
But while he was about that business, the very limitations of the grid suit furnished an unending challenge to Moglaut's genius.
The immediate result of the situation he created and controlled so deftly was Moglaut's production of a closed-plenum grid suit.
He hurried with the beaker of viscous fluid to his throne room, drenched every square centimeter of the grid suit with it and watched breathlessly through the hours while it dried.
Now, anything once embraced within the palpitating fields of the grid moved with and how the suit moved; not in accord with the natural laws of the surrounding continuum.
But the stellar grid showing through the direct-view port was blotted out suddenly.
Pushing away from the ship again, he checked the length of the stellar grid streaks.
