Robot sorter being tested by the post office at Brighton. Work speeded up three times
Robot sorter being tested by the post office at Brighton. Work speeded up three times.
A new robot sorter which it is claimed can work three times as quickly as the system previously used, is being tried out at the General Post Office in Brighton as an experiment.
An operator working the ne machine can deal with three thousand letters every hour.
The operator sits at a key board and as she depresses one of the levers, a receptacle opens and one of the letters on a moving band drops into it. There is an appropriate opening for every letter and all the operator has to do is depress the correct key.
A similar system is already in use in Rotterdam.
