9023 Instruments, apparatus and models intended for demonstration purposes (e.g. training or exposure) not one for other use

This heading covers a wide range of instruments, apparatus and models designed for demonstration purposes (for example, in schools, lecture halls, exhibitions) and not suitable for other use. Subject to this provision, this heading includes: (1) Special demonstration machines or devices, such as the Wimshurst machine (for experiments with electricity), the Atwood machine (for demonstration of the laws of gravity), the Magdeburg hemispheres (for demonstration of the effects of atmospheric pressure), the Gravesand ring (for demonstration of thermal expansion), the Newton disk (for demonstration of the color composition of white light). (2) Models of human or animal body structure (connected or unconnected, provided or not provided with electric light); models of stereometric bodies, crystals, etc. Mo deli of this type are usually made from plastic or gypsum-based formulations. (3) Training mannequins, which are an inflatable model of the human body into which air can be blown, life-size with artificial breathing parts, in which similar parts of a person are produced; are used in the "kiss of life" resuscitation method.

(4) Sectional models of ships, locomotives, engines, etc., cut away to show the internal working or the functioning of an important part; panels showing in relief, for example, some assembly of a radio receiver (for radio-telegraphy schools) or the oil circulation in an engine, etc., whether or not equipped with an electric lighting system. (5) Display cases or exhibition boards, etc., showing samples of raw materials (textile fibres, wood, etc.) or illustrating the various stages of manufacture or processing of a product (for instruction in technical schools). (6) Models, etc., for artillery instruction, used in indoor training courses. (7) Prepared slides for study under the microscope. (8) Models of towns, public monuments, houses, etc. (of plaster, paperboard, wood, etc.). (9) Small-scale demonstration models (of aircraft, ships, machines, etc.), usually of metal or wood (e.g., for advertising purposes, etc.). It should, however, be noted that models suitable only for decoration fall in their appropriate headings. (10) Relief maps (of regions, towns, mountain ranges, etc.), relief town plans and terrestrial or celestial globes in relief, whether or not printed. (11) Military tank simulators, which are used for the training (including advanced training) of tank drivers. They consist essentially of the following components: – a driver's cab mounted on a moving platform; – a vision system consisting of a scale model of terrain and a television camera mounted on a moving gantry; – an instructor's console; – a computer unit; – a hydraulic power unit; – an electrical power supply cabinet. PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Subject to the provisions of Notes 1 and 2 to this Chapter (see the General Explanatory Note), parts or accessories of the apparatus and appliances of this heading are also classified in this heading. This heading also excludes: (a) printed plans, diagrams, illustrations, etc., even if designed for use in teaching, advertising, etc. (Chapter 49); (b) ground flying trainers of heading 8805; (c) articles designed both for entertainment and for demonstration purposes (e.g., certain sets of models of mechanical parts; mechanical or electric toy locomotives, boilers, cranes, aircraft, etc.) (Chapter 95); (d) automata and animated mannequins, etc. (heading 9618); (e) collectors' pieces (heading 9705); (f) antiques (e.g., relief plans and globes) of an age exceeding 100 years (heading 9706).
