About this book

Three identical space travellers must move together on a live television set, and transparent helmets leave no room for ordinary doubles. Video technician Don Hartley sees a chance to solve the problem for The Planeteers and win a promotion. During a break, he arranges three cameras with reverse scanning and an amplifier. A fallen paper clip fuses the circuits, producing a picture that reaches beyond the backdrop.

Hartley's experiment soon shows him places beyond the studio walls, turning a production trick into something far more valuable. His excitement collides with a clause that gives the network ownership of anything its employees invent. Ib Melchior builds this short science fiction story around practical television work, an accident, and a technician's determination to keep the reward for himself.
