During his blackout periods he manages to invent machines. When he recovers from these blackouts he doesn't remember inventing the machines and spends his sober periods trying to find out what they do. ----------- The Gallagher stories were collected under the title "Robots Have No Tails" (or something pretty close to that) in the late 50's. It's the first SF I read, so I remember it with special fondness. I confess I can't recall whether the author, Henry Kuttner, is a pseudonym for Lewis Padgett or vice versa... scott preece ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece
