For a moment Tom was stunned, and then he called:
"Help! Help! Eradicate! Koku! Help!"
He waited a moment, but there was only a silence.
And then Tom smelled a strange odor—an odor of a choking gas that seemed to smother him.
"It's the acids!" he cried. "They're generating gas! And I'm held fast here! The place is closed up tight, and I can't move! Help! Help!"
But there was no one at hand to aid Tom, and every moment the fumes of the gas became stronger. Desperately the youth struggled to rid himself of the weight of the shaft, but he could not. And then he felt his senses leaving him, for the powerful gas was making him unconscious.

In this installment our hero invents a movie camera and goes to film exciting things. Of course the rivals of the man who commissioned this do all sorts of things to stop Tom. Tom also nearly gets himself killed several times over by trying to film dangerous events. Interestingly enough, Tom films l
Tom Swift novels are never strong on plot, tending to rely instead on momentary crises and vaguely motivated bad guys to move things along.

Slightly less racist than some of the other early Tom Swift books. Read it to find out if Tom will beat those dastardly Jews who control Hollywood.
#14 in the Tom Swift series. This 1912 series entry by pseudonymous author Victor Appleton is average for the series. Tom is hired to invent a movie camera and travel around the world taking newsreels of wild animals, volcanos, avalanches, and the like. Fairly pedestrian today, but this was written
In this book, Tom invents a new camera for taking motion pictures. He does so after being approached by named James Period, called Spotty by his friends. Spotty is a businessman that has grandiose ideas about action movies that he wants created to be shown in theaters. He wants action from natural
Something new in this Tom Swift book is the full participation of Koku, the giant that Tom encountered in the previous book, Tom Swift in Captivity. A glance back at the previous book showed that it said Tom was asked to get a giant, not necessarily to capture a giant, which would've been absurd to

Really good old classic young readers book about a young inventor that invents this awesome inventions and then goes on these wild and crazy adventures, sometimes getting into trouble in the process.
