Of a time when sentences where long, space mattered in newspapers, and pneumatic tubes ran under the city streets ... From The New York Times, September 30, 1892.
Pneumatic post is a place to file notes about the life of pneumatic tube systems (particularly in hospitals) alongside other postal, medical and museum related discoveries.
Pneumatic tube systems are systems of pipes used to transport solid objects by vacuum. Once resplendent in European and American cities, they are now mostly used in hospitals, banks, pharmacies and other networked institutions. I would love to hear your comments, on the blog or by email: a.harris@maastrichtuniversity.nl
