Lifeboat (Large Print)
The lifeboat is viewed from the side with its front or bow on the left of the page and the rear or stern on 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. The lifeboat has two sections; the bottom section is the hull which would be in the water and the upper section is the cabin superstructure. Where these sections meet is the deck, which has handrails running along its entire length except for two gaps, one in the middle and one near the stern. These gaps are where the crew step aboard. In the middle of the cabin superstructure there are two rows of windows. The captain's bridge has one of its windows on the left of the upper row of five windows. Up from the windows is the boat's navigation light and then the lookout station. Two tall aerials stick up at the front and back of the lookout station, with the radar supported on two poles between them. Hand railings run to the right of the lookout station and down to the stern.

Space Shuttle (Large Print)
This is a diagram of an American space shuttle, designed to carry large loads in an orbital path around the circumference of the Earth. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The shuttle is shown in two views: a plan view (seen from above) and a side view. The shuttle is carried into the upper atmosphere of the earth by SRBs (solid rocket boosters) and then continues under the power of its own engines. The plan view is in the top left part of the page. The nose cone of the shuttle is at the far left. Directly right of this is the cockpit window, the main body of the craft with the payload doors, the engine covers, the rudder, and the engines. The swept-back wings of the shuttle extend up and down the page from the main body. To the far right of the plan view the expelled gasses that push the craft through space can be found. The side view of the shuttle is in the bottom right of the page. At the left of the image is the nose cone with a landing wheel just down the page. Moving right is the main body of the craft with the payload doors at the top and the wings and rear landing wheel down the page. Further to the right two of the four engines are visible with expelled gasses at the far right. Slightly up the page is the rudder.

International Space Station (Large Print)
This is an image of the ISS, a very large man-made satellite orbiting the Earth at a height of 350 kilometres. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The station is used mainly for scientific research and although originally built by Russia and America, it is now manned by representatives of fourteen nations. In the centre of the page are the modules used for living and scientific research. These are attached one to another and reach the top of the page with the topmost one used as a dock for the Space Shuttle. Two rectangular solar panels extend out to the left and right of the modules. Down the page from these is the main truss running across the page. This supports two much larger panels on the far left and right of the page. Just to the left of centre, on the main truss, there is the mobile servicing system, which runs on rails, has two robot arms and is used for various construction and servicing tasks. To give an idea of the size of the structure, a scale image of a person in a space suit (approximately 6 mm high) is shown at the top centre of the page, just to the left of the research modules. The space station is constantly being changed and added to, so this diagram can only give an approximate impression of its layout.

Fishing smack, 1882 AD (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows a side view of an old fishing boat in full sail at sea. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. An image border surrounds the image. The front of the boat (bow) is on the left and the back (stern) is on the right of the page. In the top centre of the image, is the top of the mast with a flag to the right. Moving down the upper mast there is a triangular topsail to the right. The upper mast is joined to the main mast at the bottom corner of the topsail. Going up and right from here is the gaff boom (a pole). The main gaff sail hangs from it. Down and to the left of the main mast are two triangular foresails. The one to the left has its bottom edge attached to a bowsprit which is a pole sticking out forwards horizontally. To the right the bottom edge of the main gaffsail is attached to the main boom, another horizontal pole. The sail covers part of the boom to the left. Down from the left part of the gaffsail is the top of a small cabin. To the right of the main mast is the mizzen mast. It has a small gaff sail to the right and a long thin flag at the top. At the very end of the boat, a small tender (dingy) hangs facing away so only the stern end of it can be found. The hull of the main boat is at the bottom of the image. It is moving to the left through choppy water so not all the hull can be found.
