Sorting Machine Speeds Mail Sorting at Chicago Post Office
John Sestak, a 58 year old Postal Service employee nearing retirement, invents a groundbreaking mail sorting machine. The device, developed over four years in Chicago, cuts handling time by about 35 percent by replacing manual pigeon hole sorting with a conveyor system that funnels mail by state to single outlets for faster distribution. It currently processes outgoing mail from Chicago collection boxes and promises broader use at secondary stations and city delivery breakdowns.
