Abstract
The paper outlines the basic problems, and describes how several features, such as available site, form of building, traffic content, and complexity of plant layout, combine to affect the control and signalling design. Specific sectors of the flow of mail through the mechanical handling plant and sorting machines are examined and examples given of the latest techniques adopted. Some aspects of the essential engineering and operational and signalling controls are also described, with reference to recent installations.
