Mass production of this practical yet effectively designed product will be relatively inexpensive and simple to accomplish using current production means and technology.
 The video monitor of the A Frame in Time has a six-hundred-and-forty by four-hundred-and-eighty (640 x
480) pixel, active-matrix, thin-film transistor liquid crystal
display (TFT-LCD) screen measuring five inches in height
by nine inches in length (5 x 9). This screen is featured
within a frame casing of polyurethane (PU) plastic
material, the total size of which measures six inches in
height by ten inches in length (6 x 10), and this frame
provides a one half-of-one-inch (1/2) border around the TFT-LCD screen.
Upon the facing of the frame is a power button, and for activation of the video monitor. The interior of the housing of this video screen features a central processing unit (CPU) with an operating system that reads the digital data from a flash memory card, which can be inserted through a slot in the sidewall of the monitor.
Two (2) audio speakers of mid-range driver format are contained within the housing, and are positioned to broadcast through perforated portions of the side planes of this housing. These audio speakers broadcast within a frequency range of three hundred to five thousand hertz (300-5,000Hz).
 (Please note that the following portion of this mechanical description only pertains to one [1]
possible specific format of its base, that the base of
the A Frame in Time is capable of other designs
to accommodate other specific uses, and that the
A Frame in Time is in no way limited to this one
[1] specific design.)
This video screen and its housing are affixed upon one
(1) side of the top surface of a base platform, which is
made of a durable material. This base platform measures
approximately eighteen inches in length by one inch in
height by eight inches in depth (18 x 1 x 8).
From the top surface of this platform to the right side of the video screen a pedestal, made of the same material as the platform, does project. This pedestal is columnar and measures approximately four inches in height by a two-inch diameter (4 x 2). The top plane of this pedestal is indented in a concave design, and of arc depth to accommodate a baseball.
