The boss would like some drawings and papers out of the place, and he's been after them, but he can't make the riffle.... He hadn't expected to get busy so soon, but we got a tip that Waite had wired the Signal Corps to come on to watch a test of the engine. Well--there won't be any test to speak of. That engine'll fly without any wings.

You'll bring the stuff?
