space dock n.	1945 H. Walton Schedule in Astounding Science-Fiction June 55/2 Jimmy Rodgers swallowed dryly. The bustling scene all around him, the hurrying foot traffic of a great space dock, the fussy activity of automatic unloaders, all seemed suddenly as unreal and absurd as the news Matthews had brought him—alive, moving, noisy, but not actual, like a stereograph sound film.

teleport n. 1	1944 H. Walton Boomerang in Astounding Science Fiction June 119/2 Of course, a teleport paid for itself in a place like this, which most pillars of society would rather not be seen coming to or leaving.
