Abstract
This paper describes the work carried out to date to establish a relationship between the amount of phosphor, in a given form, to be applied to a postal item, and the efficiency in terms of the number of correct operations interpreted therefrom by the machine reader. The investigation leads to the specification of the phosphor density for stamps which will provide a known performance margin for the automatic letter facing system. Related problems in the address code sorting system are also discussed.
