When presented with an unusual problem, it is often possible to adapt commonly used examination techniques in solving the problem at hand.
Abstract
In the case presented here, procedures commonly used in identifying handwriting, such as the study of unusual letter formations and unusual spellings, were combined with techniques sometimes used in examining obliterated writing. Using these combined and adapted techniques, it was possible to successfully decipher many of the overwritten notes written by a person who had been recently blinded. (Author abstract)
