These small bits here are the graceful cantilever springs, dampening the interference between each individual motor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t look like springs at all,\u201d says CandiCrush, \u201cthey look like teaspoon handles!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSprings don\u2019t have to be coiled,\u201d replies BarmyWaffle, \u201cthink of the leaf springs attached to the axle of a wagon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker is more concerned with the task in hand, \u201chave Tom and Jerry had things stolen?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes! Jerry was the first one to notice. Unintentionally he left a batch of six bone arrow heads on the bench one night. The next morning there were just five. It could be a counting error though. The remaining bits of the femur had been locked away, but he couldn\u2019t be sure how much of it had been cut and turned into tips. His work diary says he made six that day, and he\u2019s usually right. It\u2019s a minor thing though, it\u2019s not like he left six swords on his bench and lost a sword!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TedTalker suggests, \u201cdo it again tonight. Deliberately leave six of those on the bench. Tomorrow we\u2019ll check if they\u2019re all still there. I\u2019ll work the early shift tomorrow, so that I can keep an eye on things. Tolstoy might complain, but we\u2019ll get more time off later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I join you? What time?\u201d asks KristalClear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly shift starts at 06:00 so you\u2019d have to be here at 05:45 for parade. If your parents are happy with that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sixteen now!\u201d she says indignantly, thinking that sixteen is old enough to be making these decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you said parade? You parade at 05:45?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParade is a pre work briefing in the picquet post, that\u2019s all. Not the sort of parade you\u2019re thinking of. There\u2019s no marching or shouting involved!\u201d<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/02\/17\/chapter-3-on-the-canine-wavelength020\/\">Previous<\/a> &#8211; Book1 Page21 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/02\/19\/chapter-3-on-the-canine-wavelength022\/\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous &#8211; Book1 Page21 \u2013 Next \u201cTom is working on bone composites for limbs and risers.
