The Warrior's kneeboard[1] is an electronic device worn by Viper pilots.
It is seen in use during the clearing of the Straits of Madagon (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
Notes
edit
The base kneeboard is a real-world MXU-63/P lighted pilot kneeboard, with two Sharp-brand calculators added to the writing area, between which a LED light strip is laid. Early production photos feature the EL-8133 series, while production later used the EL-5804 series for filmed scenes.
The prop's inclusion is fleeting as it was rapidly disused, with surviving versions of the leg computer repurposed for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as props.
