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.

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.
