Voltage Drop
4Ω
When current is flowing through a circuit, voltage is
lost, or used up, by being converted to some other
energy form (heat, light, or magnetism). This loss of
12 V voltage is referred to as voltage drop. Every part
of a circuit offers some resistance, even the wires,
although the resistance in the wires should be very
low (Figure 1–16). The voltage drop in each part of
the circuit is proportional to the resistance in that part

to another energy form within the circuit. If exces-
sive voltage drop occurs somewhere in a circuit due
to unwanted resistance, the amperage flowing in the
12 V circuit will be reduced. This also reduces the voltage
drop across the intended load component because
excessive voltage drop is occurring elsewhere in the
circuit. This reduces the load component’s ability to

his organization and with a world where life outside was impossible,
Slovetski's power was finished.
I turned to Zorchi. "The men who broke in will be going crazy soon,"
I told him. "While Rena finds the paging system and reassures them
they'll all be treated in the reception room, how about getting
Lawton to locate and revive a couple of the doctors you know and
trust?"
Rena came back from the paging system, and Zorchi prodded
Lawton with the gun, heading him toward the files that would show
the location of the doctors. Gogarty stood up doubtfully, but I shook
my head. Zorchi was able to handle a man of Lawton's type, even
without full use of his legs, and I couldn't trust Gogarty yet.
"You can give me a hand with Defoe, Sam," I suggested. "We'd
better strap him down first."
Gogarty nodded, and then suddenly let out a shocked cry, and was
cringing back!
In the split second when both Rena and I had looked away, Defoe
had whipped out an automatic and was now covering us, his teeth
exposed in a taut smile. "Never underestimate an opponent,
Thomas," he said. "And never believe what he says. You should have
searched me, you know."
The gun was centered on Rena and he waited, as if expecting me to
make some move. All I could do was stand there, cursing myself. I'd
thought of everything—except the obvious!
Defoe backed toward the door and slipped around it, drawing its
heavy weight slowly shut until only a crack showed. Then he
laughed. "Give my love to Millen," he said, and laughed softly.
I jumped for the door, but his feet were already moving out of the
passage. The door began opening again, but I knew it was too late.
Then, it was open. And amazingly, Defoe stood not ten feet away.
At the other end of the passage, a ragged bloody figure was
standing, swaying slowly from side to side, holding a rifle. I took a
second look to recognize Nikolas Slovetski. He was moving slowly
toward Defoe. And now Defoe jerked back and began frantically
digging for the automatic he must have pocketed.
Slovetski leaped, tossing the gun aside in a way that indicated it
must have been empty. A bullet from Defoe's automatic caught his
shoulder in mid-leap, but it couldn't stop him. He crashed squarely
on Defoe, swinging a knife as the other went down. It missed,
ringing against the hard floor.
I'd come unfrozen by then. I kicked the knife aside and grabbed the
gun from Defoe's hands. Slovetski lay limp on him, and I rolled the
smaller man aside.
Defoe was out cold from the blow of his head hitting the floor.
Gogarty had come out behind me and now began binding him up.
He opened his eyes slowly, blinked, and tried to grin as he stared at
the bonds. He swung his head to the figure on the floor beside him.
"Shall we go quietly, Nikolas?" he asked, as Gogarty picked him up
and carried him back to the private vault.
But his sarcasm was wasted on Slovetski. The man must have been
dying as he stumbled and groped his way toward the place where he
knew Defoe must be. And the bullet in the shoulder had finished
him. Rena bent over him, a faint sob on her lips.
Surprisingly, he fought his way back to consciousness, staring up at
her. "Rena," he said weakly. "Benedetto! I loved him. I—" Then his
head rolled toward me. "At least, I lived to die in a revolution,
Thomas. Dirty business, revolution. When in the course of human
events, it becomes—"
He died before he could finish. I went looking for Lawton, to make
sure Defoe was suspended at once. He'd be the last political
suspendee, if I had anything to do with it, but there would be a
certain pleasure in watching Lawton do the job.
XIX
The doors of the reception hall were closed again, but there was no
lock now. One of the two doctors whom Zorchi had trusted was
there now, waiting for the stragglers who came in slowly as a result
of our broadcast. We couldn't reach them all, of course, but some
could be saved. The men who had fought with us were treated and
suspended. Even the boy and his dog had finally reached us and
been put away.
In the main room of the executive vault, Carmody was waiting for
Rena and me as we came in, haggard from lack of sleep, but
somehow younger-looking than he had been since we had first
revived him.
He stood up, managing a tired smile. "The first work's done, Tom,"
he said. "It wasn't too hard, once they learned Defoe was
suspended; a lot of the others were afraid of him, I guess. So far,
I've only contacted the ones I can trust, but it's a beginning. I've
gotten tapes of their delegation of authority to you as acting
assistant Chief Underwriter. I guess the factor that influenced them
most was your willingness to give up all hopes of suspension for the
emergency. And having Zorchi was a help, too—one man like him is
worth an army now. I'll introduce you tomorrow."
He stumbled out, heading toward the sleeping quarters.
Well, I had the chance I'd wanted. And I had his promise to put off
suspension until things were running properly. With time to develop
a small staff, and with a chance to begin the work of locating the
men to study the problems that had to be solved, I couldn't ask for
much more.
Zorchi grinned at me. "Emperor Weels!" he mocked.
I grinned back. "If you ever say that seriously, Luigi, I want you to
say it with a bullet through my brain. I've seen enough cases of
power corrupting."
For a second, he studied me. "If that day should come, then there
shall be the bullet. But now, even I must sleep," he said.
Then he glanced at Rena. "I have left orders that a priest should be
wakened."
She colored faintly.
"You'll be best man, I suppose?" I asked.
This time, even his beard couldn't conceal his amusement. "Is Zorchi
not always the best man?" he asked as he left us alone.
I stared at the vault that would be my home for the next twenty-five
or fifty years—until I was an old man, and the rest of the world was
ready to be awakened. "It's a lousy place to spend a honeymoon," I
told Rena.
She leaned against me. "But perhaps a good place to bring up
children," she said. "A place to teach them that their children will
have a good world, Tom. That's all a woman ever wants, I guess."
I drew her to me. It was a good way to think of the future, whatever
happened. And it would be a better world, where the virtues of the
Company could be used.
Probably it wouldn't be perfect.
Even the best form of government all the experts could devise
couldn't offer a permanent solution. But it could give men a chance
to fight their way to a still better world.
