AUTHOR'S NOTES

The Franz Joseph plans entertained me in my youth, but after scanning them and analyzing them in my drafting software, I realized there were issues. The details, shapes, scale, and alignment were inaccurate.

So, I decided to redraw them all. I was guided by 3 criteria:

   1. The details visible on the 11-foot studio model of the ship.
   2. The description of the ship in the Writer's Guide (from THE MAKING OF STAR TREK).
   3. The details seen or heard in the original 79 episodes.

I drew exterior views (top, bottom, front, back, left, and right) of the entire ship to ensure the shape of each deck was correct. Many others have prepared such drawings but my intent was to focus on the interior. The ceiling height, and the thickness of the decks, walls and hull were chosen so as to fit within the ship and be consistent throughout the ship. Also, the decks had to correspond to the window locations. Finally, note that the slope of the hull affects the location of the ceiling line.

I found plans of the DESILU STUDIOS sets and scaled them to 1/350 then drew all the doors, walls, corridors, etc.

I never liked that the Bridge was rotated 36°, and I was hoping careful measurement and scaling would allow a forward-facing Bridge to fit under the dome. As it turns out, the rotation is immaterial; the bump behind the dome is too low to allow a turbo-elevator to reach the Bridge! A variety of solutions are provided to fit the Bridge under the dome; some of them are contrived, convoluted, and/or clunky.

All of this (and much more) is in the drawings.

I hope the plans provide you with some pleasure, information, and ideas for contemplation / consideration.

Plans Updated: September 2021:

Added isolation doors in the corridors.

Each page has been re-formatted to be clearer and more consistent.

Included details seen in THE CAGE, plus more callouts to other episodes.

Plans Completely revised and updated in 2024
