  Henry Kuttner it is. Rushing to the Kn-Ku box of my SF collection, I find
"Robots have no Tails" in both an undated Lancer edition ($.95 - maybe
73-75?) and a 1960 Ballantine ($.35 !).  According to the foreword by his
wife (C. L. Moore), they were written in the early forties under the name
Lewis Padgett and published mostly in ASF.

  Thanks for the pointers; a linear search through my 3K+ SF books would have
taken months (with the probable digressions for re-reading).  BTW, the name
is "Galloway Gallegher", Gallegher with an "e" and Galloway because that was
the name in the first story and Kuttner forgot it while writing the second.
Gallegher tended to call the robot "Narcissus," but it insisted that its
name was Joe.
