Summary "Special Delivery" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novella that was published in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the innovative concept of a matter transmitter, exploring themes of scientific experimentation, technological advancement, and competitive business dynamics in the field of interplanetary communications. Set against the backdrop of space exploration, the book delves into the challenges faced by a group of scientists as they attempt to develop a machine capable of transmitting objects instantaneously through disintegration and reintegration processes. The narrative centers on Don Channing and his colleague Walt Franks, who are deeply engaged in the creation of a matter transmitter for Venus Equilateral. Their progress, however, is mired in technical setbacks and competitive tensions with their rivals at Terran Electric. As they navigate the scientific and legal complexities surrounding their invention, the story highlights the humorous and challenging situations they encounter, especially during a court trial to establish the rightful ownership of their newly developed technology. The climax illustrates their determination to prove the validity of their invention while facing skepticism and opposition, all while maintaining a sense of camaraderie and ingenuity throughout their trials.
