This unit loop system was constructed to execute three actions: stop, backward and right forward movement, under the control of a on-board microcomputer.This control method is used in small rooms. It also enables one to increase the driving area of a vehicle without reprogramming and adjusting the control mechanism.

Deep Thought

The author is a British architect who clearly feels for handicapped children and has given deep thought to his subject. The book deals primarily with mentally handicapped children with a brief chapter on the additional problems of those who also have physical handicaps. In general he describes what is necessary for older children including those in wheelchairs, with little very specific reference to those who, because they are younger or more severely handicapped, are not at all mobile. The parts on play areas, observation and recording facilities will be particularly valuable.

Handicapped People

Day care of mentally handicapped people fulfils the need of both the person and the community. The transmission of culture which occurs through nurturing, education and social integration in the case of ordinary people is also necessary in the case of a mentally handicapped person. This alone can eventually lead the mentally handicapped person to prepare himself for the role of an adult in the community. Day care plays an important part in facilitating this transmission because, contrary to common belief, mentally handicapped people can learn better during their early adult life. Yet factors within the community itself make this provision less effective. The aim of this article is to review day care in the context of its need and place in social organization and the problems in the community at present.
