Quentin Daniels would not leave the Gulch for several months. Doubtless John Galt trained him in the theory and practice of electrostatic motors and hired him to take charge of the valley's electrostatic power plant when John Galt left the valley for the last time. When John Galt was later arrested in [[New York City]], Daniels probably participated as a member of [[Ragnar Danneskjold]]'s hastily assembled [[militia]] in the rescue operation that followed.

Daniels would remain in John Galt's employ through the winter. Then in the springtime of 1930, when John Galt determined that "the road [was] cleared," Daniels would probably take the post of chief manufacturing engineer in the company that John Galt would form to build electrostatic motors for a variety of transportation and stationary-power applications. Among the very first products would be a line of electrostatic [[locomotives]].

Quentin Daniels is a [[Literary type#Allegorical types|type]] of an individual of remarkable, even outstanding, but still relatively minor talent. Though he accepts the challenge of reconstructing the electrostatic motor, he does ''not'' attempt to ''reinvent'' that motor. Discerning the ideas of another inventor is one thing. Using one's own ideas to accomplish the same thing is quite another.
