[nobe-l] Fwd: Model car kits for the blind.

[David Andrews]

>I have been asked to circulate the following...






>Greetings Mr. Andrews,
>
>I am developing a series of model car kits that can be built by the blind.
>
>The models consist of hand cut corrugated cardboard parts, that are 
>assembled by gluing one upon the other, to form the completed 
>model.  The pieces are aligned by feel, by using the bumper 
>protrusions as reference points.  Help from a sighted person would 
>be required for applying the glue to each part before handing it to 
>the blind person building the model.  Help would also be needed for 
>aligning the wheels on the Q-Tip swab stick axles, because they are 
>meant to roll.
>
>I assembled each of these prototypes with my eyes closed.
