[Nfb-krafters-korner] embossors - how to made one idea

[Cari Kness]

Would a raised line drawing kit work? I had an issue when I thought 
I'd have to do a lot of graphing in my Economics class. I'll do some 
digging for that message. I think it's on my other computer. I think 
it involved a retractor wheel or something similar. When I find the 
message I'll pass it on.
Peace,
Cari
