In response, Swail built his own laboratory at his parents\u2019 home to prepare himself to be accepted into McGill University, where he graduated from a Bachelor of Science with distinction in 1946. The next year, Swail found employment with the NRC. While there, he built several prototypes of assistive technologies, including mobility devices, talking clocks and calculators, as well as different models of card readers that computer programmers who were blind could use to do their work faster and independently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image description:\u00a0<\/strong>Image of James Swail (c.1969) embedded within the text in his NRC laboratory demonstrating the first model of his card reader.
