Andersson and Sorensen Writer

Mechanical Braille Writers

Description:
Andersson & Sorensen is a Copenhagen, Denmark manufacturer founded in 1913. According to the Dansk Blindesamfund website A&S began manufacturing a braillewriter design in the 1930s. In 1950, Outlook for the Blind announced in its January issue that A&S had introduced a new and improved design. The five A&S machines in the APH Museum collection feature differences which suggest subtle modification over time. By 1963, A&S machines were distributed in the United States by the Beutler Company, New York, NY.
