Ian,

I can also remember them well from Newcastle.  Lillian Smith was always an 
advocate for them.

  A blast from the past indeed.  I remember my one at Benwell and it's dot five 
pin got stuck in the up position.  This meant not only that every embossed 
letter had dot five in it regardless, but that shadow dot fives would appear in 
the spaces because when you pressed a given key, the corresponding dot in every 
cell came up.  Made my Braille even less comprehensible than usual.

  It must be about forty years since I have seen one of these. Does anyone 
still use them? I seem to recall they were rather unreliable.
