  • Note: This story also appears in the print version of Grantville Gazette V. Note: The story of The Society of Saint Philip of the Screwdriver continues in Grantville Gazette XXXVII After learning that Lutherans had intended to make their religious radio broadcasts, the Jesuits request that the Jesuits send a jeweler to Grantville to study radio. The American radio team is desperately trying to recreate an alternator they know was built in 1906, but cannot achieve the speeds they believe necessary. They feel victimized by "Murphy's Law". After learning that Saint Mary's Parish observes the days for up-time saints who will never live, and who were canonized by popes who will never live, the Jesuit emissary Father Nicholas Smithson suggests praying to Saint Vidicon (a fictional saint from the universe of Christopher Stasheff's "Warlock" books). Father Lawrence Mazzare forbids this, but allows them the symbol of the screwdriver as a reminder to check and double check. He also suggests that they call upon the recently canonized St. Phillip, who was known for his sense of humor. Father Smithson finds the simple details of the alternator design in the Grantville library, where the self-reliant Americans never thought to look.
