Did the shuttlecraft have a bathroom?

I thought we had discussed this in an earlier thread. I believe we agreed that it looked like this:
You worked on them and you never noticed that a flat screen is still actually curved? Well, I imagine you had no reason to note that fact.
Example illustration:
Left- conventional CRT
Right- flat screen CRT
Both have convexed glass.
And you are mistaken that the appearance of flat meets my criteria for being flat... In fact, that's exactly what I was arguing against.
Maybe you're thinking of a rear screen projector TV. Where as you know, three (convexed) lights project the reflected image onto the flat screen that is indeed truly flat.
Yes- the actual glass cover on the tv is completely flat. But behind that is a slightly convexed glass where the image is actually being projected onto. It just appears to be flat. They got quite good at that, but it is NOT a flat screen.

Wow- this looks like it makes going to the washroom quite fun! But who really wants to use it after the first guy?

This all goes back to your comment:
I simply wanted to point out that CRT's were made that were completely flat at the front, which they are. The front is flat glass, just as flat as an LCD monitor. Flat as a pancake. The front of older CRT's were curved, you can see and feel the curve in them. That's all I was trying to point out.
Now, to get back on topic...was the urinal in the shuttlecraft flat or curved?
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Well, that's pretty conclusive. :-)

As for the original post, can't we just ask Lynne Miller to go out to her storage facility and take a look inside?

I thought everyone knew:
The TOS shuttlecraft employed a design based on the Wolowitz Gero-Gravity Human-Waste Disposal System.

Maybe they can put one in during the upcoming restoration...
Ah yes the old "You'd bett pull over or you'll be detailing this seat!' threats on those long road trips,
Yes.
Aren't the doors on the wrong side?
