Description: Black-and-white glossy of American Printing House for the Blind employee Honey Oliver, sitting at a table, operating the IBM Tape Controlled Braille Embossing System. She is pressing keys on a braillewriter, which types the braille onto a tape, which then automatically runs a stereotype machine, to her left, to emboss a metal embossing plate. Oliver has short light-color hair and wears a light-color blouse, a dark skirt, and two-tone heels, and a necklace. To her right is another table that has embossed metal plates, blank metal plates, and a reference book on top.
