"There are smaller weapons," said Cabot.
"Many," said another, "but contained in the arsenals, at the terminations of the world".
The world, as may be recalled, was cylindrical.
The ends of the world, then, were the flat caps, or poles, closing the cylinder, at each end.
If one might imagine a horizontal axis stretching between these caps, that would constitute what, in effect, would be a gravity-free zone, rather like that in the shuttles.
To ascend to this zone by climbing the flat caps, toward their center, can be dangerous or difficult.
Caught by the rotation, one could be hurled downward, and dashed to the ground, and, without aid, it could be an almost insurmountable climb to ascend against the rotation, until one had ascended far enough for it to be neutralized, and one would have approached the gravity-free, or low-gravity, axis.
