content: Lee Brody (1927-1997), who was a pioneer in developing affordable TTYs for the deaf community, started a non-profit company called Phone-TTY. He sought out donations of teletypewriters, which he would refurbish and adapt for use with specially constructed modems, so that deaf and hard of hearing people could communicate over the telephone. The series consists primarily of schematics and user manuals for telecommunication devices for the deaf.
