Displays

A variety of instrument displays appear in the series. See also Roberto Baldassari's graphics

The Beta Cloud
The Beta Cloud: Fire Point 23a. This is the only fire point we see in the series, although small extinguishers appear alongside doors in Year 2. The two small signs are the ubiquitous "Emergency Procedure" ("press red button on side B of your comlock") and "Fire Emergency Procedure".
The Beta Cloud
The Beta Cloud: Fire Point 23a. Carbon Dioxide is run together as one word (it should be two). The hose is retractable.
The Beta Cloud
The Beta Cloud: Fire Point 23a. Note the large blocks at the base of the panel.
The Last Sunset
This "pressure differential" sign appears both in The Last Sunset and The Last Enemy in airlocks. You would expect an airlock to have "low" pressure (to open to the vacuum of the lunar surface), and "balanced" (the same as normal Alphan atmosphere). But why would the airlock ever have "high" pressure?
The Last Enemy
The Last Enemy
The Testament Of Arkadia
Protein store combination.
Seed Of Destruction
Seed Of Destruction: the life support systems indicator. Evidently there are 12 systems.
Catacombs Of The Moon
The temperature sign in Catacombs Of The Moon
Catacombs Of The Moon
The version of the sign in Medical in Catacombs Of The Moon does not have the text "Temperature Centigrade"
The Beta Cloud
The Beta Cloud: this temperature monitor in Medical Centre is captioned "Medical Temperature Control Unit".
The Beta Cloud
The Beta Cloud: the temperature readings are from -5 to 50 C in 5 degree gradations.
The Beta Cloud
The temperature panel here (also in The Beta Cloud) has different text to earlier in the episode: now it just reads "Temperature Centigrade". This form also appears in Catacombs Of The Moon.
Space Warp
The "Emergency Procedure" notice is ubiquitous throughout Alpha. This is one of the few times it was readable on screen.
