A compact amplifier which Physicist Edward Elway Free built for Commander Macneil, builds up the fog-eye's currents until they are strong enough to turn on warning lights, ring a gong. The fog-eye can detect differences of temperature of one-fifty-thousandth of a degree Centigrade. Its theoretical effec- tiveness is the heat of a candle...
