![]() First use of this phrase.
Murray Leinster used the same phrase just a year later, in The Power Planet:
The girl was clad in a suit exactly like his own.
Baggy and clumsy, with an effect of transverse striping on every part of it, which was the wire reinforcement.
She fumbled awkwardly with her own face-plate. It
was three plates of Caldwell glass, which is opaque to
radiations having a heat-effect.
Compare to the transparent space-helmet from The Sargasso of Space (1931) by Edmond Hamilton and the space helmet from The Disc-Men of Jupiter (1931) by Manly Wade Wellman. Comment/Join this discussion ( 0 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
