By chance, a search for "blind typesetter" led me to Pierre-François-Victor Foucault, who in 1843 invented the first printing machine for braille, the decapoint. He and Louis Braille were friends.

Perhaps the material below could improve the wikipedia pages on Foucault and other subjects, or provide resources for an interesting article. Doing either would be sufficient to close this issue.

Here are some URLs, in rough order of importance for the issue.
