1891 ‘L. Carroll’ Diary 24 Oct. (1953) II. xiv. 486 Today [sc. 24 Sept.] I conceived the idea of having a series of squares, cut out in card, and devising an alphabet, of which each letter could be made of lines along the edges of the squares, and dots at the corners... I shall call it ‘The Typhlograph’. (24/10/91. Instead of ‘typhlograph’ I have adopted ‘Nyctograph’ at the suggestion of Warner).
1896 Westm. Gaz. 2 May 2/3 Messrs. Jarrold send us a sample of what they..term ‘The Typhlo~graph’. It consists of a neat slope of hard wood with grooves on the surface, and it is designed to enable the blind to produce ordinary hand-writing in a straight line.
1898 Internat. Cycl. (N.Y.) II. 641 Mr. Gall's typhlograph is a much more perfect instrument.
