Along with the development of technical aids, slates for writing in Braille, first mechanical aids were developing as well. One of them was a Braille writing machine, the Stainsby, devised at Stainsby & Wayne circa 1910. It consists of a wooden basis onto which a mechanism for writing Braille letters is attached. To start a new line the mechanism needs to be moved to the following groove on the writing basis.
The machine is used for mirror writing, and the text can be read by turning the sheet of paper in negative. The Typhlological Museum bought it from Lujo Lovrić in 1957.
