Prototype

While initially appearing a simple deck and wall, the design for The Doctor's Dilemma required a technique for rotating panels within the wall and for the action to be quick enough that before the final scene over 40 panels could be rotated in a short scene change.  In order to find a method that the director and scenic design approved of, a prototype was designed and fabricated to demonstrate the recommended technique.
