They have turned to electricity to speed the handling of the mails.

Electric cancelling and stacking machines do 35,000 letters an hour where only 3,500 could be done hy hand. Electric belt conveyors, trucks and handling equipment transfer mail from trains to the offices. Electric fire and burglar alarm signals, and indicating devices which announce the rrival and departure of trains and boats are used. Particularly interesting is an electric auditing system which enables the Money Order Department at the General Post Office to act as a clearing house for approximately 80,000 money orders a day from five cities. Cards are punched on electric machines, items listed and added and cards sorted, automatically.

The auditing system Is electrically efficient. Throughout the city the Post Office calls on our companies for electric service. The New York Edison Company Brooklyn Edison Company, Inc.
