4 First Quotations from Raymond Z. Gallun
| space armor n. | 1932 Revolt of Star Men in Wonder Stories Quarterly Winter 241/2 It must have been over two hours later that a huge torpedo set in motion by the forces of the Black Emperor, struck the ship. The explosion rolled her completely over, and tore a jagged though not disabling hole in her side. The air puffed out from the control room compartment, but the men who labored so feverishly there, were clad in heavy space armor, and aside from being badly bruised they were unhurt. |
| space dock n. | 1938 Hotel Cosmos in Astounding Science-Fiction July 142/2 Space Liner Ardis coming in from Planet Five of Antares. Landing at 10:19 p.m. in fourth cradle of Civic Space Docks. |
| spaceman n. | 1932 Revolt of Star Men in Wonder Stories Quarterly Winter 238/1 I too was dumbfounded when, some five Earth years ago, I first ran across the Space Men out there. (He waved his hand toward the west away from the sun.) But after I had studied them for a time, I knew that there was really nothing very remarkable or impossible about the nature of their living.

| viewphone n. | 1932 Revolt of Star Men in Wonder Stories Quarterly Winter 228/1 When Shelby reached his apartment, he immediately donned his laboratory smock and set to work. But he had scarcely finished mounting a tiny coil of wire within the hand-grip of his weapon, when the view-phone bell rang insistently. The inventor pulled off his smock and threw it over the materials on his work bench, so that the person at the other end of the view-phone connection, whoever it was, would not be able to see them. Then he snapped the television and audio switches. The mists in the view-plate cleared, and there before him, as real as though he were actually in the room, sat Hekalu Selba. The Martianβs eyes gleamed with suppressed excitement. |
