Clellen McMullen. 53-year-old auto-
mobile mechanic, uses his fingers to
"see” what is wrong with motors.
For McMullen has been blind
ever since 1913. when a lime ex-
plosion in a steel plant where he
working as a mechanic cost
i him his eyesight.
Although he is new an expert
auto mechanic and has a garage
of his own in the rear of his home
here, McMullen did not learn the
mechanism of a car until after he
became blind. Even before the
patches were removed from his eyes,
he had purchased a secondhand
car and taken it apart. That and
work on neighbors’ cars en-
abled him to gain a detailed know-
ledge of the workings of automo-
biles.
“I see just as much as others.”
McMullen explains, "except that
mine are all mental pictures. In-
stead of my eyes, my fingers con-
vay thoughts to my brain. When I
raise a hood to ‘look’ an an engine,

In his spare time, McMullen
tries to lessen the burdens of other
