Jay Chattaway scores his first episode here, going on to take over Ron Jones.
   
The episode was based on 1979 Ace book "Tin Woodman" by Dennis Putman Bailey and David Bischoff.
   
Harry Groener (Tam) played Ralph on NBC's "Dear John" and won a Tony for his lead in "Crazy for You" the musical.
   
A line which was later removed revealed Picard and DeSoto once served together as lieutenants.
   
The interior sounds of Tin Man were recorded from sound effects editor James Wolvington's stomach through a stethoscope.
   
The rising Tin Man chair was created by filming a wax chair being melted and reversing it.
