| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Wait for Weight" by Jack McKenty is a science fiction story written in the early 1950s. The book explores the challenges and absurdities faced by researchers in a rocket research station as they navigate bureaucratic pressures and scientific breakthroughs. The narrative centers around Dr. Allport Brinton, who must deal with a visiting senator’s potential threat to the station's funding, all while pursuing a groundbreaking discovery in rocket fuel. In the story, Dr. Brinton experiences a series of comedic and chaotic events that highlight both the pressures of his job and the eccentricities of the research environment. After a tumultuous morning and an unexpected accident, he discovers a new fuel with extraordinary properties—capable of existing in a fourth dimension—leading to an innovation that could revolutionize space travel. As he prepares for the senator's visit, Dr. Brinton must balance immediate crises with the potential for monumental success. Ultimately, the tale combines humor with speculation about future technology, concluding with Brinton's realization that his discoveries may lead to his own joblessness, a clever twist on the rewards of scientific achievement.
