About the Book

Chapter I A Man On The Roof Tom, I dont believe it can be done! But, Dad, Im sure it can! Tom Swift looked over at his father, who was seated in an easy chair in the library. The elderly gentleman--his hair was quite white now--slowly shook his head, as he murmured again: It cant be done, Tom! It cant be done! I admit that youve made a lot of wonderful things--things I never dreamed of--but this is too much. To transmit pictures over a telephone wire, so that persons cannot only see to whom they are talking, as well as hear them--well, to be frank with you, Tom, I should be sorry to see you waste your time trying to invent such a thing. I dont agree with you. Not only do I think it can be done, but Im going to do it. In fact, Ive already started on it. As for wasting my time, well, I havent anything in particular to do, now that my giant cannon has been perfected, so I might as well be working on my new photo telephone instead of sitting around idle. Yes, Tom, I agree with you there, said Mr. Swift. Sitting around idle isnt good for anyone--man or boy, young or old. So dont think Im finding fault because youre busy. Its only that I dont want to see you throw away your efforts, only to be disappointed in the end. It cant be done, Tom, it cant be done, and the aged inventor shook his head in pitying doubt. Tom only smiled confidently, and went on: Well, Dad, all youll have to do will be to wait and see. It isnt going to be easy--I grant that. In fact, Ive run up against more snags, the little way Ive gone so far, than I like to admit. But Im going to stick at it, and before this year is out Ill guarantee, Father, that you can be at one end of the telephone wire, talking to me, at the other, and Ill see you and youll see me--if not as plainly as we see each other now, at least plainly enough to make sure of each other. Mr. Swift chuckled silently, gradually breaking into a louder laugh. Instead of being angry, Tom only regarded his father with an indulgent smile, and continued: All right, Dad. Go ahead, laugh! Well, Tom, Im not exactly laughing at you--its more at the idea than anything else. The idea of talking over a wire and, at the same time, having light waves, as well as electrical waves passing on the same conductor! All right, Dad, go ahead and laugh. I dont mind, said Tom, good-naturedly. Folks laughed at Bell, when he said he could send a human voice over a copper spring; but Bell went ahead and to-day we can talk over a thousand miles by wire. That was the telephone. Folks laughed at Morse when he said he could send a message over the wire. He let em laugh, but we have the telegraph. Folks laughed at Edison, when he said he could take the human voice--or any other sound--and fix it on a wax cylinder or a hard-rubber plate--but he did it, and we have the phonograph. And folks laughed at Santos Dumont, at the Wrights, and at all the other fellows, who said they could take a heavier-than-air machine, and skim above the clouds like a bird; but we do it--Ive done it--youve done it. Hold on, Tom! protested Mr....
