in the army One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis It showed message in code Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper

Louis thought a lot about this code Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could "read" with their fingers It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters Instead of letters, Louis used a "cell" of six dots He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down So blind people can read and write even write music by Braille
