Has anyone knowledge of exactly when in TOS production history the ship's size was nailed? Obviously it was unknown during "The Cage," and revised upward (as was the crew size) later...and I've seen an excerpt from the 1967 draft writer's guide that describes the hangar deck as big enough to hold "a fleet of jetliners." There's also a memo in Making of ST that suggests the possibility of a viewport, through which one could see the nacelles, "thousands of feet long and hundreds of feet over our heads."
I'm assuming the only canonical use of the figure was in the scale bar of Matt Jeffries' 3-view, as printed in Making in 1968. Any idea of the date of that drawing?
