What function of the post office would this be? They look like type setting machines for small books to me. And USPS isn't plastered all over everything either.
Perhaps the USPS made their own locks...
Notice the Line Shaft had been replace with individual electric motors.
The overhead distribution system is interesting.

The workers could be opening valves to drive the turbines that power the dynamos...

Never realised the submarine was relatively well developed long before the land tank was even thought of.
Wonder what the survival rate of these early subs was, even without going to war?
Hi: The Hunley Submarine from 1865 killed all three of the crews it ever had. It was the first sub to sink an enemy ship. Carl.
Of course. It is Lincoln.Quote:

I knew a fellow in Kansas City that worked in a cigar factory. His doctor told him to stop smoking since it was damaging his lungs. He never smoked.
Why is that Carl? They roll cigars at the factory, not smoke them
Quoted from Wiki, "Snuff is a type of smokeless tobacco product made from finely ground or pulverized tobacco leaves."
Have to assume the dust created by the tobacco processing was the cause.
The whole article is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_(tobacco)
Tobacco's Nicotine is very potent. Children that pick tobacco are said to be exposed to the equivalent of smoking two packs a day.
