Abstract
This paper surveys the problems involved in the provision of a good working environment in mechanized sorting offices, particularly those problems, such as heat, noise, dust, and lighting, which stem from or are accentuated by the introduction of postal machinery. Current design standards and methods are outlined and estimates are made of the additional costs which can be attributed to mechanization. Possible ways of easing these problems in future generations of sorting offices are discussed.
