Postal automation to boost U.S. mail handling capacity
The U.S. Post Office Dept. unveils a sweeping modernization plan with semi automatic sorters already in use in Washington and Silver Spring. Officials forecast 1 000 destination sorting and new scanning tech within 18 months, aiming for fully automated post offices and 100 billion letters annually by 1980. The effort includes push button centers, electric stamp cancelers, and automated dispatch of sorted mail to trays and destinations.
