LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 1.
Louisville has a printshop such
as is found nowhere else in the
tuned States. Its books for ele
mentary grades weigh 15 pounds;
its typo setting jnachfnes have on
ly six keys as compared with the
90-odd combinations possible in
the average type Betting machine.
and a hammer and a nail punch
are the tools of the proof reader.
Mis3 Susan B. Merwin, superin
tendent, says all this is true, and
he nrobably knows.
The publishing house with these
queer devices is me American
Printing House for the Blind, and
because of its publications thou
sands of blind persons read what
otherwise would not be available
to them.
The federal government pays
the house $50,000 annually, and
for this amount books are provid
ed for 655 schools for we blind
throughout the country. As an
indication of the volume of work
put out by tbe house, the report
for the last fiscal year snows
that 3,489,786 pages of printed
patted and 12,580 bound volumes
were produced and in addition,
4.211 pamphlets and 1,044 copies
of musical selections were printed.
The typesetting machines have
only six keys because the alphabet
for the blind comprises six points
or dots, with each letter consist
ing of from one to. six dots, in dif
ferent combinations.
Sheet brass is used in the ma
chines, the words being punched
in the metal. The plates go from
the machines to the proof reader,
who removes all mistakes with a
hammer and a nail punch.
Plates are then sent to the press
room, where they are placed on
cylinder presses, which uses paper
that has been immersed in water
