Manifold

In , a manifold was a design element used to distribute and manipulate (ie. split or combine) the flow of fluid (ie. liquid, gas, plasma, or energy) so as to introduce or remove it from a connected system. Various forms of manifolds were essential in the operation of propulsion systems.
Sam Rutherford etched a note on the side of manifold on the model he was constructing to get the deflector shields on it to work. The note read "field distortion amplifier 88," which, while initially meant nothing to Rutherford, it was later discovered that it written there to slow his completion of the model. ()
