Janet,

I am happy with uncontracted braille, even though I've been reading Braille
for 66 years.  I am prepared to accept uncontracted Braille for we
Braillists can all read it but those less able cannot, therefore to have
information in any form readily accessible to us is, in my view, to be
commended.

Steve, you came back advising the lack of majority reading Braille, but did
**NOT** comment on my mentioning of much information being available via the
bar code which can certainly in some cases, be applied to an appropriate
database to obtain necesssary information using a device such as a bar code
reader or an app (for which I am stiill looking for my android KAPSYS
phone).

-Like me, many vi people only know grade one Braille, so we wouldn't be able

-Hi why should labels be in uncontracted braille (some of us prefer 
-contracted braille) and it takes up less space.

-Hi Gary,
-
-Good points, but surely it would be best that labels are in uncontracted 
-(Grade 1) braille?
-
-Second, braille in bottles does requires that the moulding tool used to 
-create the bottles has been added.  Clearly this is best done at the
initial 
-tooling stage.
-
-Embossing on to cartons is a decidedly tricky matter,  and I know has been 
-looked at.

-Hi all.
-
-First off moderaters, I hope this is allowed on here, if not I do 
-appologise.
-
-
-Something is really puzzling me and I don't know if many people have
-noticed this who are blind.
-
-
-Have you ever noticed when you or someone you know goes to the
-supermarket, if they pick up a bottle of bleach, any bottle no specific
-brand required.
-
-If you feel towards the bottom of the bottle, you'll notice it says that
-in contracted Braille! Bleach I mean.
-
-
-Well what's really puzzling me is if they can do this with Bleach and
-vertually all medication these days, what's stopping companies from
-doing this with Milk, Yoghurts and stuff like that!
-
-I mean take one of my bottles of Bleach I've got at the moment, the
-Braille at the bottom is really raised up clearly!
-
-So obviously they are using some kind of ingraiving tool to somehow
-ingraive this onto the bottle.
-
-
-Anyway just an observation.
-
-When I mentioned the Milk and things like that, I'm refurring to the date.
