It is hoped it will prove appropriate for a wide range of readers including those who have generously given financial assistance, advice or lent equipment. Significant progress has been made on techniques for producing braille with particular emphasis on the utilisation of information already in digital form. Close contacts have been maintained with a large section of the visually handicapped community. The last twelve months have been dominated by acute financial problems which have now been resolved in the short term. The Unit was reduced from four to two full-time staff but it can now continue at this size for another year. - 3 - 2. Present Personnel Prof. J.L. Douce part-time supervisor of the Unit Dr. J.M.
