  <description><![CDATA[Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia in several languages. Users from a wide range of fields contribute to and edit it. If you need a quick explanation of something, it might be a good reference.

There was not an abundance of information about engraving, lasering and other of our processes there. Perhaps some of the experts here would want to share their knowledge with the world.

  <description><![CDATA[With regard to the query about ceremonial (groundbreaking) shovels, The Engravers Journal has published three articles on that topic:

Profit With Ceremonial Shovels (Mar/Apr 90)
Ceremonial Shovels (Feb 96)
Celebrating Ceremonies (Sep 99)

They are not presently available on line, but those who have the back issues might enjoy reading these articles, including the parts which show holding and engraving techniques.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Anyone interested in creating Braille signage may be interested in several previously-published articles from The Engravers Journal as follows:

The Raster Method, Creating Braille Signage the Raster Way (May 02)

This is a review of Accent Signage System's &#34;Raster&#34; method of creating Braille. Another article of interest is:

A Look at Braille Translation Software (March/April 1992)

This article provides unfamiliar persons with a good overview of Braille and talks about Braille translation software packages. Most of the engraving system manufacturers either provide a package like these or have a built in Braille translator.

ADA signage utilizes grade 2 &#34;literary Braille&#34;. The difference between that and grade 1 Braille is the latter is a straight translation of English characters to Braille dot characters, whereas grade 2 Braille utilizes a set of &#34;contractions&#34; -- special Braille characters which provide a phonetic pronunciation for certain character combinations, such as &#34;th&#34; in the word &#34;thorough&#34;.]]></description>
