Linda, I did four years of slate braille then acquired the Noah's
Ark of braillers, called the New Hall's Braillewriter. It was issued
by the American Printing House for the Blind too, but preceded the
Perkins by many years. The paper si clamped to the platen or rubber
roller then wraps around it similar to the Perkins, but the roller
is on a moveable carriage like the old fashioned typewriter and the
"points" remain in the same position. Push the carriage back and
turn up the roller via the knob at either side for a carriage return
operation. Great antique and it does the job quite nicely still. The
slate and stylus travel with me at all times, like American Express
says, "Don't leave home without it". Must dash for now so talk to
you later and always good to hear from you.
Love and hugs always,
Bill
