Every so often, I search around the Web for the title of an old (probably "golden era", e.g. 40s) sci-fi short story. Never any luck. Involved an engineer (I think working on a weapons system) in a culture where everything was built using complex mechanical systems, where using electricity was considered to be sacrilegious (and not permitted). I remember the final line of the story, where our main character says, "Just give me the right tool for the job!" after he gets in trouble for suggesting a far simpler electrical solution to the mechanical nightmares they were using. Any ideas? Thanks.
