                                                     #1001  EP. 3-4.

 9.   CONTINUED:

           PROFESSOR PARKER:

           Come over here and I'll show you.

      Parker gets up and walks to another bench where he places the
      cell. Next to it he places a radio.  He places the cell so that
      the prongs are pointed at the off/on switch at a few inches
      distance.

           PROFESSOR PARKER:

           This cell uses impulses, rather than connections, to
           direct anything.  Say, a plane or a car, or anything else.
           It's a perfect trigger mechanism, which I'll demonstrate
           with this radio.

      Parker crosses back to the control panel, Jeff and Joan
      following.

10.   INSERT:  CLOSE
      On Parker's hand placing the cell next to the radio.  FOR A
      LATER CUT the radio clicks on.

11.   INT. PARKER'S LAB:  CLOSE FULL
      Parker at the control panel.  He begins to manipulate the
      dials.

           PROFESSOR PARKER:

           Now, watch the radio carefully.

      They watch as he turns a dial, then looks O.S. at the radio.
      He presses a button and the SOUND of the radio COMES OVER.

           PROFESSOR PARKER:

           As you can see, Jeff, it works without any actual
           connections.  It can trigger explosives the same way, and
           would be a great advantage in warfare.

           JEFF:

           You're right, Professor.  It's sure an improvement.

      Suddenly the control panel makes a BUZZING SOUND.
