	Ex Astris Scientia - Where are the Jefferies Tubes?
		Jefferies tubes are named in honor of the late Matt Jefferies who designed the original Enterprise and conceived an access tunnel in which Scotty had to perform delicate repairs several times.
		So most likely all Jefferies tubes on the Sovereign class are mostly located between the decks and only some smaller portions near the access hatches are on the bottom of the decks, although the lack of deck plans would allow a complete system of deck-level Jefferies tubes too.
		Summarizing, while the Jefferies tubes are a fine idea to provide access to distributed ship systems while not consuming too much volume (not to mention the dramatic impact of crew members crawling through them), it was never made clear where in the ship they are actually located.

	What's New (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Today we at the DITL salute the memory of a true legend, for it is with great regret that we must report that Matt Jefferies has passed away.
		On screen, his contribution to Trek was acknowledged in the famous "Jefferies Tubes" - the access-ways which we occasionally see engineers crawling along to reach some vital bit of machinery, often lined with piping labelled GNDN for "Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing".
		But perhaps no greater testament to Jefferies can exist than the fact that even today, nearly 40 years after the original series, Star Trek continues to field vessels which are variations of his original USS Enterprise.

		When Jefferies was designing the original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 he experimented with a distinctive shape that consisted of a long, thin ship with a large, hoop-shaped engine.
		Jefferies had rejected it as impractical, but Drexler says he was intrigued by it.
		"One echoed some of the shapes seen in the Vulcan lander; the other foreshadowed the giant sphere of the USS Pasteur NCC-58925 which was inspired by another Matt Jefferies concept for the Enterprise that he'd labeled the USS Independence.

		According to Matt, the Enterprise design was arrived at by a process of elimination.

		By the third time around, they were down to about two dozen sketches, one of which was the beginning of the design that was finally chosen for the Enterprise.

	Blogcritics.org: The Designer of The U.S.S. Enterprise Dead At Age 82
		Walter "Matt" Jefferies, the man whose graceful design of the U.S.S. Enterprise for the TV series Star Trek in 1964 was a science fiction landmark, passed away on Monday at age 82.
		He worked on shows ranging from Ben Casey to Little House on the Prairie, but he'll forever be known for the original Enterprise, which rests today in the Smithsonian, and has influenced the design of the main spacecraft in each successive version of the show, including the current Enterprise TV series.
		Jefferies' style on Trek perfectly bridged the gap between Hollywood's pulpy 1950s designs (such as Forbidden Planet and This Island Earth) and the more technologically sophisticated shapes that Stanley Kubrick ushered in with 2001: A Space Odyssey, and George Lucas carried on with his Star Wars movies.

		The workhorse version of the ship is the 11 foot long model which was used for 90 percent of the effects work and therefore rightly claims to be the "true" Enterprise.
		Because Art Director Matt Jefferies has had a long standing relationship with the world of aviation he would turn to his friend Volmer Jensen to build the big model.
		Jensen operated a nearby workshop in the LA area and is famous for having designed one of the earliest and most popular home built aircraft, the "Seabee".
