Tea Clipper, 1865 AD (large print)
by RnibIn this image of a tea clipper, the long slim hull extends across the lower part of the page, with its stern at the left and bow at the right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. At the stern, mainly below the water level, is the rudder. Slightly to the right and up the page from this is the mizzen mast, the shortest of three tall masts which rise from the clipper's hull. Each of the masts - the mizzen, main and foremast from left to right - are rigged with many rectangular sails attached to horizontal wooden spars. Three ropes to the right of the page support triangular sails which are tethered between the foremast and the bowsprit, which sticks out almost horizontally at the very right of the page. The anchor can be seen stored against the hull just above the water level at the bow. A clipper could have additional triangular sails strung between the masts. It was designed to be a very fast cargo ship.
Short Belfast RAF Aircraft (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is an image of an aircraft seen from above. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image is in the centre and a scale in metres on the left of the page. The aircraft's nose is in the top centre and the tail in the bottom centre of the page. The fuselage goes up and down the middle of the page. At the top of the page is a re-fuelling nozzle which crosses the cockpit and sticks out in front of the aircraft. The cockpit is shown as a curved window near the nose. The wings go out to the left and right. Sticking out from the front edge of the wing there are two engines with propellers on each wing to the left and right of the fuselage. The bottom edge of the wing has three flaps on each side and the tail wing has two flaps on each side. These are the ailerons used to manoeuvre the aircraft when it is flying.

There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. On the left of the page air is forced into the engine by the compressor which has many fan blades. The compressed air is fed into the combustion chamber in the middle of the page. Fuel is injected into the engine through a port in the lower centre part of the combustion chamber. This is where combustion and gas expansion takes place. On the right of the page the exhaust exits past the turbine producing the thrust of the engine. The front view shows the circular opening of the engine with lots of fan blades arranged around the central hub like a huge fan.

Some areas have been given two-letter alphabetic labels due to space considerations. These are described in a key at the bottom left of the page.
World globe centred on the UK (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is a globe map centred on the United Kingdom. As the land masses shown are on the curved surface of the Earth, this image will be distorted, especially at its edge. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Land is shown on the tactile image as a fine dotted texture and the sea by fine horizontal lines. These are green and blue respectively on the Large Print image. This globe map represents the Earth as seen from space, directly above the United Kingdom. The UK is in the centre of the map, to its right is mainland Europe and further right is the continent of Asia. Down the page from the UK is Spain and Portugal, and further down is the continent of Africa, reaching to the bottom of the globe. Up and left from the UK are the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland and Greenland. To the left of the UK are the eastern half of North America with the Arctic up the page and the northern tip of South America down the page.
