[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [qb]If you're referring to page 177 of the Making of Star Trek book, then it is in the secondary hull, with the power conduits coming down from the warp pylons behind a multilevel Engineering. What I see in the aft end of the saucer is a one level room with a turboshaft running directly up through the center of the room (if the saucer is indeed cut through the centerline.) Where do you see the multiple level engineering? [/qb][/QUOTE]While I concede that the cutaway is ambiguous, as nothing is labeled on it and it's not highly detailed, the accompanying text in the book (on page 171) makes it clear: <blockquote>[i]"Propulsion for the primary hull is provided by impulse power. The impulse engine section is located at the bottom rear end of the saucer. Headquarters for the engineering division is also located in this same area, as are main engineering control facilities plus sufficient repair, storage, and other facilities to service the primary section when detached from the star-drive sections of the vessel."[/i]</blockquote> That's as opposed to (from pages 190 to 191): <blockquote>[i]"The secondary hull is often referred to as the engineering hull, as much of the facilities and activities conducted in this area are devoted to that department. A number of deck levels (there are sixteen of them) are also devoted to fuel, supply, main repair centers, water and waste reconversion, and interplanet freight. Minimal crew quarters are located in this hull, used by duty engineers and by the star-drive crew when the saucer section has detached and is operating separately."[/i]</blockquote> So, while a number of "engineering decks" are in the secondary hull, main engineering is behind the impulse engines, which are the glowing shafts we see at the back of the set on the show. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D P.S. And those "power conduits" are turbo-elevator shafts. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
