I remember reading where GR informed Grindstaff that every set had to have a unique sound : bridge, engineering, transporter room, et.al. Grindstaff was mortified at the work that entailed, but he still did a masterful job.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

That's interesting. I always thought it was up in the air as to whether our transporter whine could be heard in-universe, especially at the remote end where we have no transporter machinery.
The 2nd sentence in the first paragraph there: "A hangar is a building or structure designed to hold aircraft or spacecraft. Hangars are built of metal, wood, or concrete."Looks like Wikipedia didn't get that memo:
Hangar - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Talk about an unnecessary sentence!Yeah, it's a building. It's built of... materials. Ooh, what a surprise!
Come to think of it, there are inflatable ones too, so they missed a material.
So look down at the floor plans shown in this site:
Count Dracula now wants to enlist, thinking that Sickbay is loaded with designer coffins. (So show him the regular forward-facing perspective and watch 'im sulk and say "Well, that sucks!"...)
Yep, the blood bank is to the left of the Dr(acula)'s office there, which also reads WILD... probably because it was 1978 and needing to feel all Studio 54ey
Evolution of the Sickbay Set — Forgotten Trek
The same sickbay set served four different starships.

“Where No Man Has Gone Before”
When Scotty drops the module into the console the display activates, but also the bridge sound effects whirl on. So the whole function of that box is just to make lights, bells and whistles.

Amazingly it powered everything up before Scotty even fully seats the module in. Maybe it was the guy in the blue shirt that powered the console on? It does look identical to the one at Kelso's controls on the planet. They must have had lots of spares...
When Scott says, "It fits like a glove, Captain," Kirk is standing at the console with said components still installed. (Must be a similar control panel).
Later on, we see those components also robbed from the console. I guess Scotty's crew were thorough thieves to take that component for a spare to the one they took earlier.
I didn't get to say this in the other thread, but I don't think Uhura is the unsung hero of Star Trek.
I think she sung a lot

It can be used wirelessly, or anchor to a station for greater stability or convenience.
You are spot on! That technician in the blue coveralls has a Variac in his hand. It’s used by present day electricians to apply/control the amount of AC voltage applied. You can even see the black power cord that feeds power to the Scotty box. He turns the control dial after Scotty drops the box into place.

I've always assumed that this was done because the director wanted to show the crew slightly disheveled after their long hours of work - usually you could show this by loosening neckties and undoing the top button, but Star Trek uniforms have much more limited options, so here you go!Many zippers undone in "Miri"

Notice how Spock stays done up. Nimoy would have said, "Nope, Spock doesn't go casual in front of the Captain."
But but...Starfleet uniforms have no zippers!!!!!I've always assumed that this was done because the director wanted to show the crew slightly disheveled after their long hours of work - usually you could show this by loosening neckties and undoing the top button, but Star Trek uniforms have much more limited options, so here you go!
Even if Star Trek costumes do!!!!!
More likely would have said "Nope. Spock doesn't go casual in front of the crew."
Or, "Vulcans don't get hot and sweaty".
Vulcan is hot, but it's dry heat.
