Just a thought - you can find images of almost anything on Google Images, images.google.com, and the Taylor frame seems to be no exception. Careful, though, as there seems to be something else called a Taylor Frame in orthopedics for limb correction.

Yes please Colin, with and without would be good. I thought the tray was a very pale blue *smile*. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Howard" <colin@xxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 7:36 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Braille Maths Tray 1960sEleanor,these frames are known as Taylor frames, they could be used both for algebraand numeric applications. I am unfamiliar with the algebraicrepresentations but the numeric type, which were all basically lead, had abar at one end and two lumps at the other. The holes were octagonal and numbers and minus, plus, multiply, divide, decimal point and equals were represented by the position of either the bar or lumps. The rest of the ends on each type were flat. I have one of these plastic frames and from my days having useable sight, remember the board was redish-brown and the tray and back white.I will see if a friend can photo mine, do you want with and without type, inthe board and laying in the tray? I only have the numeric type.
