AUA Language Center poster 83a: C-J mouth diagram (English phonetics poster distributed in Bangkok)
An English-language teaching chart from the A.U.A. Language Center, the 'AWA Language Posters' of NARA's catalogue. A side-view line drawing of the mouth, tongue, teeth and palate is captioned 'C-J', showing the tongue position for a pair of sounds. The sheet makes no argument. The tell, such as it is, is transfer: it places a U.S.-distributed teaching aid for English before Thai learners without any stated claim.
