TARDIS console rooms, in any of the known configurations, is the TARDIS console that holds the instruments that control the ship's functions. The appearance of the primary TARDIS consoles has varied widely but shares common details: hexagonal pedestals with controls around the periphery, and a moveable column (or time rotor as it has been called in the original series and the 2011 episode "The Doctor's Wife") in the centre that bobs rhythmically up and down when the TARDIS is in flight, like a pump or a piston. The secondary console was first seen in season 14 (1976–77) of the original series.
Hexagonal prism Hexagonal prism In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. This polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. Since it has eight faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term "octahedron" is primarily used to refer to the "regular octahedron", which has eight triangular faces. Because of the ambiguity of the term "octahedron" and the dissimilarity of the various eight-sided figures, the term is rarely used without clarification. Before sharpening, many pencils take the shape of a long hexagonal prism. If faces are all regular, the hexagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron, more generally, a
