Pike looked at a literal clipboard in his quarters before calling the doctor. The same prop showed up on the bridge a couple of times.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

Are you referring to this?
This scene is from "The Cage". We've been shown books on TOS, but this is the only instance, that I can remember in TOS, when the ship's computer actually spit out a printed paper.
I remember this scene because it looked so passé, and the paper is all yellowish.
I don't know why the prop people didn't use a whiter piece of paper. That piece of paper, coming out of the computer, looked like it might have been sitting out in the sun for a long time. The whole thing looked anachronistic.
The McCoy family dueling pistols, sir! Family heirlooms,
Wonder if he's ever been tempted to challenge Spock to a duel?

Something was definitely up. Kirk was strolling down to sickbay to chat up Bones. The Enterprise was currently in orbit around Endicott 7A, awaiting the return of a science department landing party currently engaged in obtaining water samples for further analysis. Spock had returned early to...

Karidian's voice print. "I believe we have a match, Captain."
Also, Karidian read his damning speech quotation from a sheet of paper, and before that he was studying a printed script.
The Table of Comets prop in "Balance of Terror."
Flint's Manuscripts in "Requiem for Methuselah."
The auto-transcribing typewriter in "Assignment: Earth."

Kirk looks over his written statement in "Court Martial"
- Kor's proclamation to the Organians.
- Starfleet's secret orders regarding Talos IV.
- The medical records of Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner (shown on a screen, but clearly paper documents with hand annotations in pen). Oh, and also the printed ESP discussion. And the documents Gary reads in sickbay.
- The tiny paper labels on the microtapes in the first few episodes.
- Spock and Sulu use flat slide/swivel calculation devices in several episodes. These are Jeppesen flight computers, which are mainly laminated cardstock.
- The command pack stolen from Kirk's safe by his android duplicate contained printed cards or sheets.

…and don’t forget there has to be Starfleet toilet paper in the Enterprise bathrooms…wherever they are.
Complete with the identification of "Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock."
Scripts revisions get printed on paper of various colors. I think that's either a sheet of "buff" or "goldenrod". Likely the latter.
Just add it to the stack of letters a secretary would type up anyway - one of the easier props to manufacture.

It's basically what Spock told Pike over the intercom.
Ah, yes. The top secret paper orders that repeatedly refer to "half Vulcan Science Officer Spock." I have to wonder if "half Vulcan" is used every time he is documented in a record somewhere.
Well, let's be honest. Spock blabs about his half human side constantly. He probably asked them to stick it in there.
I actually didn't know what the proper name of that TOS device was. I did a Google search and PADD would pop up. But from the description given, those TOS devices didn't seem to fit the description of a Star Trek PADD imo.
To me, those TOS devices looked more like futuristic clipboards. While I was typing the post, I was debating with myself whether I should call the prop a PADD or an electronic clipboard. I went with electronic clipboard, and now I feel vindicated.
According to the scripts, the clipboard prop was referred to as an "Electronic Feinberger Board"
From an old post here on the TrekBBS:
Considering how many people ran lose that were dangerous or taken control of, how many deadly weapons were left laying around. There should have been far more stabbings than there were.
