personal raphigraphe device of Louis Braille

The Brno Technical Museum received the personal raphigraphe device (pictured) of Louis Braille, the inventor of the writing system for the visually impaired, as a gift from Switzerland. The device is to become part of an exhibition marking 210 years since Braille's birth, which will run through February 25. A raphigraphe is some kind of a typing machine for the visually impaired invented by Braille's colleague Pierre Foucault. On the photo is seen the device in the museum on January 7, 2019, in Brno, Czech Republic. (CTK Photo/Monika Hlavacova)
