Set blueprint exchange

@137th Gebirg I think you may be right, they were practical, but I don't have any close up reference. All the photos I have are long shots and blurry - I can't compare texture etc.
We do have the blueprint though - http://archive.frogland.co.uk/Set B.../index.html#img=Engineering - Warp core B.png
Both the propstore ring and the warp pylon conduit disc are 1'3" x 2 - so this is the most likely candidate.

The propstore description "Rings like this encircled the warp core of the Enterprise" is somewhat off.
 
New archive update - a mix of backlog, some replacement larger images, and the latest propstore auction.

However the Voyager prototype model, Refit closeup model, and Mirror Darkly UI propstore items all used photos from their previous auctions, so are already on the archive.

Some of these might already be present in the archive, and I did not really sort them as I am currently swamped with work.



 
And here I thought this pure STO.

An Ent-D book had a Voyager like pointed hull—and a segmented saucer with variable geometry nacelles that could slide atop pylons.

Mr. Sternbach’s Superwarp ships at the end of his Chronology—I want to see more on those.

He was kind enough to give us side views of Canopus and Baton Rouge a decade or so ago.
 
A few eBay auctions today - we might have seen these before but I thought I'd just include them all..

First of all, thank you so much for developing and maintaining this priceless archive... it has been a huge help in my daft project to build a huge tabletop TOS set model. I don't have any new resources, but I would like to offer an identification for one of the drawings.

In the TOS stage blueprints, I'm certain that the yellowed image named Stage 9 - unknown.jpg was drawn up for The Enemy Within. Kirk's cabin is marked for redress as Janice's quarters, Leo Penn only directed this one episode, and "6149-5" is the Desilu production code for this episode.

By my reckoning, this makes it the earliest Stage 9 set plan we have. It has a lot in common with the ones for Charlie X and Balance of Terror, but also some interesting early details:
  • Engineering was drawn up differently from what we know, with the "turbines/energizers" near the opposite side, and what looks like a pretty elaborate column structure on the open side. For filming, it seems like these would end up pushed a little more "east" (if we pretend the plans have north at the top).

  • It looks like they had also planned to use the curved wall from Pike's quarters in the entrance foyer to Engineering.
    xkTMtXf.jpeg


  • As with other early plans, the transporter console is shown pretty far to the "south" and right up against the wall — perhaps this was in anticipation of needing room for the dog crate?

  • The bottom-most turbolift is adjacent to that unique little wall segment that curves inward, but on this plan the final straight portion does not protrude into the corridor as far as it does on later ones. I'm wondering if when this was sketched up, Matt just naturally followed the existing corridor perimeter and didn't leave quite enough real-world space for the stagehand to squeeze inside the wall to operate the southern sickbay door. And actually I'm not sure there was really enough room here to easily work the western lift door, either. The need to adjust this later — possibly in a hurry as filming began — could explain why that little corner of the corridor network ended up looking so quirkily unique, with the unusual "narrowing" effect and the opposite wall breaking out of the circular footprint.

That is weird. I wonder if it's a forced-perspective kind of thing that they had to do at the last minute because they ran out of room or something.

They already planned for that rounded inside cut to prevent the two walls from colliding. Maybe they mis-measured it and picture 2 is the "fix"? :shrug:
 
I don't think it was mismeasuring; I think the pieces were made as drawn, but when it came time to film they discovered that the stagehands couldn't get to the door mechanisms. The more I think about it, the more it seems likely that they had to adjust this in a hurry. Surely the curved adjustment piece was already built, and they had to just bump over the segments that were already in place on set so that the doors could be operated and the director could get back on schedule. If there had been more time, it wouldn't have been hard to make a less distracting adjustment with a couple of straight segments, say along these lines.

It really does look to me that Matt designed that "bump-in" in order to preserve the inner and outer curves and make it look like they continued as usual around the saucer, just with the inner one's radius increased a bit. But ironically, it seems that both curves got violated in a scramble to stay on schedule. The inner bump was always fine, interesting even, but that outer bend against the flow has always bothered me and, in conjunction with the weird angle of the wall containing the turbolift doors, makes the whole corridor suddenly jerk away from the ship's centerline and bend the wrong way, against the curve of the saucer. In the image below, the center of the ship (and the stage 9 set) are to our right, not our left. That alcove on the right is the entrance to the sickbay ward room.

xkcy6Ac.jpeg


Now at least I have a working theory that might explain it from a production perspective. And they did fix it later, probably during preparations for season 2. The image above is late first season — The Alternative Factor — and this end of the corridor was improved some time prior to The Changeling. (To bend the curve back inward, they straightened out the prior dogleg in the "east" wall of the sickbay ward room and moved the beds more toward the center of the saucer, making room for the corridor to follow its natural path.)

Good summary of the challenge they faced in Season One - the Sickbay set was originally designed for a very different setplan in WNMHGB and the weird alcove design they eventually settled on once the series was commissioned seems to have been the "best fix" they could do at the time.
