[Blindtlk] Grade 3 Braille

[Judy Jones]

Isn't the moon type out of England?

Have never seen it.

II have seen brailled materials from the UK, and rather than having 
punctured dots, there are tiny glue dots affixed to the page.  They can be 
peeled off with a fingernail, too.  I don't know if they are producing books 
the same way anymore, but thought it was fascinating.

We used to live in Germany, and the German cell was slightly larger, 
although not jumbo braille.

They had very interesting letter combinations native to their language, such 
as E-I sign, I-e, E-U, A-U, and the umlauted letters had their own braille 
characters.

Hi everybody! Since we've been discussing all kinds of braille, I was 
wondering if anybody actually knows how to read moon type braille. I heard 
about it but never seen it. I'm not a keen braille user yet. I'm working on 
reading grade 1 well. It's just fascinating that you would read with 
textures instead of dots. Sounds slow but interesting. Like you Judy, I like 
history so this is all pretty interesting to me.
