13 Amp plug and heater (UEB Uncontracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows a labelled diagram of a UK 13 Amp plug connected to an electric heater. The plug has its top removed to reveal its internal wiring and the heater has its cover removed. 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 heater is to the left of the page. It has its cover removed. Its components are attached to a square backing plate that fills most of the left of the page. At the top, are the two heating elements made of coiled wire connected to the switch to the right and to the mains cable down and right. The earth wire is screwed to a terminal on the bottom of the heaters backing plate. The thick cable extends from the bottom left of the heater to where it is clamped to the plug on the right of the page. The three wires emerge from the cable and connect to the three screw terminals marked neutral, earth and live. The fuse is shown just down the page from the live terminal.

Section through a molar tooth (UEB Contracted)
This is an image of a molar tooth. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is thenbsp;correct way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. The top of the tooth is at the top of the page and the root and jawbone at the bottom of the page. The components are labelled. The enamel, the grinding surface, is the upper layer. Down from this is the dentine layer which is slightly softer and surrounds the inner core which is the soft pulp containing the nerve and blood vessels. Going down to the bottom of the page are the two roots of the tooth which hold it firmly in place in the jawbone. The nerves and blood vessels come from the ends of the roots and go off to the left.
