I don't want to have to change things around
after we put holes in the board and spoil the appearance of it."
He laid the board on the bench, and arranged the tuning coil, the
crystal detector, the condenser, and the terminals for the head phone
plugs in what he thought should be their proper positions, and then
called for advice on this layout.
"If anybody can think of a better way to set these things up, let him
speak now or forever hold his peace," said he.
"That looks all right to me," returned Joe, eyeing the outfit
critically. "But we'll have to raise the panel up an inch or two so
as to give room underneath for wires and connections, shan't we?"
"Right you are!" exclaimed Bob. "There's another job for you, Jimmy.
We'll have to have two cleats to go underneath and raise the whole
business up."
"I thought it was about time for something else to come along for me,"
grumbled Jimmy. "Just when I was thinking of lying down and resting,
too."
"Oh, that's nothing," laughed Herb. "There never is a time when you're
not thinking of lying down and resting, so don't let that worry you."
"Of course there are other times," said Joe, while Jimmy was still
struggling to find a crushing answer to Herb's attack. "I'm surprised
at you, Herb! How about all the times he's thinking of getting up and
eating'"
"Gosh, that was a bad mistake," said Herb, with mock seriousness.
