Excerpt from Braille Codes Pilot Project, 1 December 1970-31 January 1972: Final Report; Grant No. 14-P-55094/4-01
From the foregoing the impression should have been obtained that the present work was something more than an individual effort. It was. In its truest sense it was a group effort. As a group effort, it is difficult to express adequately appreciation to all of the persons who contributed and who were so very helpful to the study. But difficulty does not prevent the attempt. Sincere thanks are extended to the Braille Authority and its Advisory Council, to all of the working committees of the project, to those consulted who are too numerable to name, and to those who had to share the burden placed on the consultants and participants.
In saying that the project was a total group effort, it is not intended that the consultants should share any of the inadequacies of the study. Those who contributed were generous and knowledgeable in supplying the information requested of them. Any deficiencies or shortcomings in the outcome of the study are the sole responsibility of the authors.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the feasibility of a research program that would provide a comprehensive solution to problems within the braille codes. It assesses the effectiveness of all braille codes and their adequacy in providing the media for the production of general literature, music, and technical materials. The codes examined include English Braille, American Edition, The Code of Braille Textbook Formats and Techniques, The Nemeth Code of Braille Mathematics and Scientific Notation, The Revised International Manual of Braille Music Notation, and others. Problems in transcription have challenged the abilities of both volunteer transcribers and braille publishers for years. The author argues that this book is needed because of the lack of systematic examination of all types of copy in order to search out and locate symbols and formats used by ink-print publishers. The author believes that if braille codes are to be implemented fully, it is essential that researchers in all aspects of code development have an inventory of ink-print representations in order to provide for all possible braille code requirements. The author also examines broader issues like the need for a dedicated organization to stimulate and monitor future research efforts, the development of an integrated code, and how to secure funding for these programs.
