<<<< Ok, ok, ok....how about on the classroom number signs at East Coast
> AeroTech....where they train aviation mechanics. Uhhhhhh......>>>>>
And what exactly makes you think a blind person couldn't be an aviation
mechanic??? What makes it so impossible??? There are talking micrometers,
talking torque wrenches, and other precision measuring tools that require no
vision. Sure, he / she might not do the work in the same fashion you
perceive as normal but it can be done with the same precision and aptitude.
I have a blind friend who is a chiropractor (sp?) and one of his tables was
having problems on the motorized gear adjustment mechanism. He called the
factory out and they couldn't find what was causing it to malfunction.
After several repeat visits by the factory reps with no solution, they were
going to replace it. He decided to take it apart and inspect it himself
while awaiting the new one and guess what he found? A small flat in a
critical area on a mechanism, an area of wear that all of the factory reps
had missed. They replaced the part and Voila...It worked as good as new.
Seriously, not picking on the subject, just trying to change some old
perceptions that really have no basis in fact. Lets not limit the abilities
of others by our own perceptions of what is possible. Technology has
changed the way all of us do tasks that were previously unthinkable.
