Magnets make a lot of sense for storage areas. My only reluctance to the idea is that we see a lot of other areas in the ship where magnets would come in handy but they're obviously not in use, as we see things fall over and topple from shelves. So would you consider that a break from the reality of the show?
Yeah.I'm looking at the outline of the "006P Energy Unit" in the bottom view... I know, I'm sure it's some sort of futuristic power source, but juging by the shape, it's the 23rd century and we're still using 9V batteries.
Just so. The effort to create verisimilitude is laudable, but I think Starfleet Quartermaster Division should change the ribbon on the Royal electric typewriter they used.Yeah.
I don't have my TM handy so I can't quote from it, but IIRC in the front matter there is a backstory involving the events of "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" of an accidental transmission of the TM by the Enterprise to Earth of the 1960s, which is subsequently sanitized by Starfleet (using time travel) to remove elements that would disrupt the course of history and to substitute 20th century technology as necessary.
My secret? I hardly watch TV and have a minimal social life
Hey, guys. I've started on modeling the quarters and one of my goals is to model the bathroom accommodations on-board the Enterprise, and I posed a thread with questions regarding bathing/grooming onboard the TOS Enterprise here: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/bathing-grooming-in-the-tos-era.293795/.
I invite everyone to go to that thread and join in on the fun of answering these tough questions.
My calculations determined that the bed in the TOS quarters was a standard twin size bed, at 38”x75”
If they had money....
I take it you're referring to the comically short bed that Pike had?
