Automatic Mail Conveyors.
When alterations being made at the Chief Post Office are completed Auckland will be the first centre in New Zealand to have a belt-conveyor system for handling mail. About 12 electric motors, ranging in power from one-half to eight and a-haif horse-power, keep long belts running endlessly through the conveyors. Feeds begin immediately under the apertures on the street front there being one for each type of mail, whether it is ordinary letter, foreign letter, foreign packets and so on. and each belt takes its different type of mail to the correct sorting area.
