Speedy Stamp-Cancelling Machine In Use At Lowell Post Office
A new self feeding stamp cancelling machine named the Hey and Dolphin Flier has been installed at the Lowell post office. Tested by the government for ten years, it is used in fewer than 300 U S offices. It can process about 750 letters a minute, with potential for higher speeds though occasional misfeeds may occur. Unlike hand fed machines, letters must be faced up before feeding, a step valued by firms sending bulk mail and political campaigns. Large advertisers are already adopting this method to speed dispatch. The article notes the machine’s limited current use and anticipation of broader adoption as efficiency improves.
