Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki

I'm a little confused about the descriptions of engineering being added, as cited to the SFTM by Franz Joseph.

In canon, there is a bit of a changed premise -- as there was an engine room in the saucer, and that is the one depicted in the SFTM. However, by the later years of TOS, it had been decided that warp engineering must be in the secondary hull (it is where (*) entity leaves the ship after the standoff in engineering in "Day of the Dove")...

The secondary hull location has been supported by many pieces of technological publication by Sternbach, Okudas, Drexler, et al. and reiterated by later depictions of the Constitution class.

IS this new text trying to describe both engine spaces as derived from those sources? Is there any way we could cite some of these complex data points with the sources i've listed? Also, to simplify the explanations? -- Captain MKB 18:16, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
