Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Conference on "Nine-Dot Braille": June 19, 1964
The Conference proceedings have been arranged in topical rather than chronological order to give maximum relevancy to each of the participant's comments and recommendations, and in keeping with the topics listed on the agenda which have not, there fore, been repeated in this report. Nothing, however, has been changed, added, or deleted from the participant's statements.
A Working Paper (see Appendix A) was prepared and sent to the participants in advance of the Conference. It was intended merely to stimulate discussion. Subsequent to the Conference, Dr. Nemeth offered to supplement his remarks on the determination of the intrinsic ambiguity of six-dot and nine-dot Braille.
