BLIND AND CRIPPLED
SHOW QUICK INTEREST
IN RUNNING MACHINES
Experiments Were Begun Be-
fore Stream of Manned Be-
gan to Pour Back and Now
Each Finds Familiar Job.
BY CARL ID. GROAT.

! Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Jan. SHERMAN indus
trial captains are striving to make
useful workers of the Teuton war
blind and war-maimed. They have
succeeded to such an extent that to-
day considerable number are engag-
ed in the hitherto supposedly impos-
sible work of running machines which
before the war only men with all their
faculties operated.
The Siemens- Schubert works here
were the pioneers in trying to salvage
manpower.
8Iaimed Run Machines.
Today, these works believe that they
have given an answer to any idea that
the war blind or the war-maimed. ex-
Icept in extraordinary cases. need be
solely objects of charity and pity
Working on their drills. presses and
boring machines are men totally blind
land in some cases with an arm miss
ine
Utilization of such cripples has been
made possible through the application
of special machinery. The Siemens-
Schuckert works began their expert
ment in human salvaging back in 1915
before the stream of MANNED and
blinded began to pour back so extern
sively as later.
At that time, people scoffed at the
experiment. ''Of COURSE" they said.
you can't have blind man operate
to work Gaming chairs or making
I,,t li,rI, hr,fa .1
work it is quite an impossibility."
Show Greater Interest.
Siemens- Schuckert leaders paid no
attention to this talk, but went ahead
to develop machines upon which such
men could operate with safety. Spe-
cial attachments were contrived so
that there was no danger to the oper-
aator. In fact, it was found that with
some kinds of drills. a blind man could
operate a pair. And the blind man
seemed oftentimes to take greater in
terest in his work than man with all
his faculties. Perhaps, because he had
pride in being Independent rather than
an object of charity for the rest of his
days.
For instance, certain lathes were |
equipped with bells which told the |
blind operator when the material in |
he lathe had been sufficiently turned |
On this machine and on drills and the |
ike there were special guards which |
the workman from catch
ng his hands in the mechanism.
Put at Familiar Jobs
Then. too. the works made allow
,nces for a mans previous occupation.
AS an example, it was found that |
men formerly engaged in locomotive |
work became i'll when confined to op-
ration of heavy labor. These men
we're transferred to heavier machines
which required more strength in ma
lipulation and which required lifting
arger loads
In some cases il was discovered
hat men were suffering with internal
roubles which were aggravated by the
'ibration and noise of machine shop. 1
uch men were not adapted to appli-
alton of the machinist experiment.
But, by and large, it is found that war s
lind, especially If they have had pre-
ious mechanical experience can be
tilized for further work in their own
ne, thus saving the community from T
nancial burden and making them
roductive, self-respecting. independ-' :.
