One that would permit them to get around without seeing-eye dogs or human guides, These scientists are members of the staff of the Haskins laboratories, directed by Dr. Caryl P. Haskins of New York. Their work is financed by the veterans administration and supervised by the committee on sensory devices-of the, national research council. £ Experiments with reading machines and guidance devices already have been carried out. Others are to follow. The results have been encouraging, but much research remains to be done. Some of the employees of the Haskins labor¥tories are blind, Numerous types of devices are being tried out. Fhe work has been going on for about two years. It was begun after considerable preliminary research such as determining the most practical “portal of entry.” This,” the scientists believe, may be either touch or hearing.
