(oldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. 2ouis adapted this system for his own use. 5e got rid of the dashes and produced a simpler system ased on dots. 8or e$ample, <,4 is represented y a single dot. "any lind students found this system much easier to use. #his came to e %nown as the <3raille4 system. #oday, millions of lind people are a le to read, than%s to the wor% of a dedicated, young lind man.
