Government of Western Australia Public Transport Authority:

"The Public Transport Authority used Braille Tactile Signs (Aust) to manufacture and supply signs for Passanger "Call for Assistance" energency points on our Prospector railcars.

The signage consisted of aluminium plates, punched with the required holes for mounting of equipment such as speakers and switches, engraved with red and black text as well as Braille text. The Braille text was formed by pressing the dots from the aluminium. This has proven to be a more successful method of manufacture than inserting dots into the label; on labels where this latter method of manufacture has been used, we have found the inserted dots get removed by vandals.

The final product produced was of high quality and has met all our expectations.

Braille Tactile Signs (Aust) produced the signs quickly and efficiently, and were a pleasure to work with."
