I seem to remember when I was a student in the early '80s, studying English Language & Literature there was a diagram in a text book showing the cross-section of a mouth with a large circular arrow in it and the positions of all the vowel sounds before and after the Great Vowel Shift. It made it easy to understand, but I can't find the diagram anywhere on the internet and don't remember the name of the text book.
