TOS Jefferies Tube setplan

[Koloth TOS]

Anyone know of a TOS Jefferies Tube setplan? I would need it for a 2:6 scale diorama. Thanks.

The only thing available is on the floorplan which basically shows the outline only. It was a sonotube mostly likely decorated on the set. I doubt there were ever any original plans.

okay, thanks, then I need to follow the screencaps of trekcore… for my 1:6 scale diorama

That is your best bet.

If this helps - the cylinder for the original Jefferies tube was supposedly a form used for pouring concrete in construction projects. About 3 feet across.

Yes, a sonotube that I mentioned in the second post. I think, if memory serves, it was 30" in diameter but I would have to look to confirm

I always assumed the in-universe Jefferies tube was just what you saw and that's it. But the spinoffs came along and decided that the Jefferies tubes were a labyrinth of tunnels that go throughout the ship. I'm not crazy about that.

As a child watching the reruns during the 70s, I thought the tube ran the length of the nacelle pylons.. Franz Joseph's general deck plans helped reinforce that notion.

Some of the canoe shaped metal mixing trays looked like the top of the shuttle upside down.

I think that was the intention. The angle of the tube looks near the same as the nacelle strut. Matt Jeffries original intention was that all the ship components would be accessible from the inside. That's why the surface of the Enterprise was smooth without any greebling.

There was another tube. It was rectangular shaped and ran parallel to the floor instead of at an angle. We see it depicted in "That Which Survives". https://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/al...which-survives/that-which-survives-br-541.jpg

I always thought that the vertical triangular ladders served both as access to other decks and also a jefferies tube-ish network.

Was the diagonal tube ever referred to as a "Jefferies Tube" during TOS? I don't think so.

It was referred to as "a service crawlway" by Scott.

No, never referred as the Jefferies tube in the original series.

"Jefferies tube" was a name used by the show's production personnel, like the "X-wing," "Y-wing" and "T.I.E." fighter craft in Star Wars. IIRC, James Blish had a character use the term in-universe in his adaptation of "Journey to Babel."

Well, somebody's repurposed the storage compartments from Space Station K-7...

Great pic. I vastly preferred the velour to the nylon, but the S3 red nonetheless really popped.

I also thought the tubes ran up the length of the nacelle struts. Both these could be true honestly: the angled tubes run up the pylons while the orange vertical ladders served to allow moving from deck to deck with no turbolift. It's worth noting that "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" had a Jeffries tube that ran up the neck from engineering in the secondary hull to the room with the Impulse Deflection Crystal in the saucer.

If there really are any type of rooms in the nacelles that people could service, then a tube like angled one shown makes sense. The "service crawlway" could be at the base of the pylons where the plasma conduits turn to go up into the nacelles.

Why did you say 2:6 instead of 1:3?

It was probably a simple typo. In post #3, the OP says it will be 1/6th scale. A 1/3rd scale diorama would be humongous!
