TALKING-BOOK FOR BLIND
AN INVENTOR’S CLAIM By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. NEW YORK, Sunday. Dr. Willis Whitman, director of the Schenectady laboratory of the General Electric Company, says he believes he will be able to aid blind people by producing a “talking book,” on which he has been working for a considerable time. Asked when it would denitely appear, he said: “Remind me of it in a month.” The device looks,-like a camera. It is filled with a strip of film, which winds and unwinds a number of times, issuing words from several tracks through a loud-speaker. Dr. Whitman believes the film will last two hours. It will be sold for about 25s.—A. and N.Z.
