Many years ago I read a story about a guy working for an organisation that would influence time-lines by traveling through time using a sort of elevator. The objective of the operators was to influence the time-line by making the smallest change possible. Can anyone identify the name and author of the story?

I think that's The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov.

  • I think you're right but the devices were called kettles from memory, however bizarre that sounds.

There are two short stories that have this theme, "Blank!" and "The Instability". Both of them are huge.
