More about these tools

A coach tells a player to stay out of the lane. An engineer points at an abutment. Each page here is one drawing of a place or a civil structure with a numbered ring on every part: a bridge, a dam, a road, a railroad track, a stage, a courtroom, a playground, a golf hole, a basketball court and a tennis court.

Open Study to read each name and what the part is for. To make the names stick, switch to Find it or Name it, and missed parts come back at the end of the round. Every drawing prints blank or labeled, which suits a bridge unit or a mock trial. Names follow a government manual or the sport's own rule book, read on the date each page shows.
