Contains the first publication of “Runaround,” the Asimov robot story that gave the Three Laws of Robotics their first explicit statement, recited by its two engineer-narrators on p.100. Cover story “Recruiting Station” by A. E. van Vogt. Acquired, along with the May 1942 issue also in this collection, while pursuing rocketry material; outside the collection’s core subject, but kept for its own significance.
