Bell develops Code-Com to aid deaf blind and hard of hearing
Bell Telephone Laboratories and Western Electric engineers in Indianapolis are developing Code-Com a signaling telephone set that lets deaf blind users feel calls via vibrating discs and read messages through blinking lights. The system uses pre arranged codes and can operate with standard phones. A companion device signals incoming calls by lamps and strobe lights. A volume control handset and wheelchair accessible coin console are also in development for public locations.
