[Nfbc-info] next generation brailler

[Ken Volonte]

Hi listers and thanks.  After talking to some of you, it sounds like the 
next generation Perkins Brailler is one notch up from something called the 
Lavender Braille writer which had a brief life in the mid 60s.  I think I'll 
have my old Brailler oiled and cleaned for the second time in its working 
life.  I'm getting ghost dots.  Ken
