Mr. Spock’s Science Tricorder from #StarTrek The Original Series

One of the most used props in the series that carried by my favored character Mr. Spock. A little tighter than it should be but still I really enjoyed modeling.

• A tricorder was a multifunction hand-held device useful for data sensing, analysis, and recording, with many specialized abilities which made it an asset to crews aboard starships and space stations as well as on away missions.

• “TRICORDER: A portable sensor-computer-recorder, about the size of a large rectangular handbag, carried by an over-the-shoulder strap. A remarkable miniaturized device, it can be used to analyze and keep records of almost any type of data on planet surfaces, plus sensing or identifying various objects. It can also give the age of an artifact, the composition of alien life, and so on. The tricorder can be carried by Uhura (as communications officer, she often maintains records of what is going on), by the female yeoman in a story, or by Mister Spock of course, as a portable scientific tool. It can also be identified as a ‘medical tricorder’ and carried by Doctor McCoy.” (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 026)
