SUMMARY:Care and Usage of your Perkins Brailler
DESCRIPTION:The Perkins Brailler has been a staple in the lives of braille 
 users ever since the first one was manufactured in Watertown\, Massachuset
 ts in 1951. To this day\, the Perkins is widely considered to be the most 
 durable braille device on the market\, with machines over 50 years old sti
 ll going strong.\nThey are so popular\, in fact\, that it is easy to forge
 t that we need to teach new braillists how to use them! Furthermore\, even
  established braillists do not always know how to diagnose faults when the
 y arise\, or how to take the best care of their machines so as to minimise
  the risks of faults arising in the first place.\nWe will be joined by Ala
 n Thorpe of Eyecan\, a certified Perkins Brailler Repair Centre. Alan will
  take us on a tour of the Perkins Brailler\, introducing us to the proper 
 names of all of the parts! He will explain how to insert paper and write b
 raille\, and describe some common faults and how to overcome them. He will
  also explain when a professional service or repair may be required and br
 iefly explain the differences between the different models of Perkins Brai
 ller available.
