Sixty years later a non-lethal weapon delivering an electric shock was developed by Jack Cover and marketed by Taser International under the name "Taser", an acronym for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle. The middle initial 'A' is used to produce a word more pronounceable than "TSER", as no other name than "Tom Swift" is used for the book's hero.[1]

In the book, the black people are rendered as either passive, simple and childlike, or animalistic and capable of unimaginable violence. They are described in the book at various points as “hideous in their savagery, wearing only the loin cloth, and with their kinky hair stuck full of sticks”, and as “wild, savage and ferocious ... like little red apes."

Swift builds two major inventions in this volume. The first is a replacement airship, known as The Black Hawk. This new airship is to replace The Red Cloud, which was destroyed during his adventures in Tom Swift in the Caves of Ice. This airship is of the same general construction as The Red Cloud, but is smaller and more maneuverable.

Solution: Bunnings' Supply Chain Development Manager came to us with an idea for an all-in-one trolley that could give the loading dock teams the efficiency they needed. We worked with him to come up with a design that would be ready quickly, and easy to implement and use on site. Building upon a pre-made mobile workshop cabinet gave us a solid base and increased the speed of providing a solution. Here's the standard features on the mobile cabinet:

After putting the trial trolleys through their paces on site, the Bunnings' team had some suggested improvements for us, which were implemented for the final design:

Challenge: Bunnings' distribution centres are a hive of activity, with container loads of hardware items constantly coming and going. Enter COVID-19, and the pressure of the sudden demand spike tested the loading dock teams to their core. Change was inevitable - something needed to be done to help the teams keep up with the increased volume of stock movement. The standard process for container unloads involved printing identification labels for the stock in the office area, then applying these labels to the stock as it was unpacked at the loading dock. Stock wouldn't be in any particular order, making it a challenge to find the correct stock for each label. Any incorrect or missing labels had to be reprinted at the office, which could be up to 50 metres away.

Of foremost notice is Swift's invention of the electric rifle, a gun which fires bolts of electricity. The electric rifle can be calibrated to different levels of range, intensity, and lethality; it can shoot through solid walls without leaving a hole, and is powerful enough to kill a rampaging whale, as in their steamer trek to Africa. With the electric rifle, Tom and friends bring down elephants, rhinoceroses, and buffalo, and save their lives several times in pitched battle with the red pygmies. It also can discharge a globe of light that was described as being able to maintain itself, like ball lightning, making hunting at night much safer in the dark of Africa. In appearance, the rifle looked very much like contemporary conventional rifles.

While Tom Swift is working on his latest new invention, the electric rifle, he meets an African safari master whose stories of elephant hunting sends the group off to deepest, darkest Africa. Hunting for ivory is the least of their worries, as they find out some old friends are being held hostage by the fearsome tribes of the red pygmies.
