At the field house the party broke up almost immediately . `` We want to thank you , Mr. Morey , for your demonstration of the new ship tonight , and you , Dr. Arcot , for answering our many questions about it . I am sure we all appreciate the kindness you have shown the press . '' The reporters filed out quickly , anxious to get the news into the morning editions , for it was after one o'clock now . Each received a small slip of paper from the attendant standing at the exit , the official statement of the company . At last all had left but the six men who were responsible for the new machine . This night had witnessed the official demonstration of the first of the Arcot-Morey molecular motion ships .
