LONDON MAIL TRAFFIC
NEW UNDERGROUND SYSTEM London, February 9. The Post Office has inaugurated a new underground system of handling mail traffic between the principal offices, including the General Post Office, also the huge parcels office. The latest extensions provide a continuous 9-foot tunnel from Paddington to Whitechapel, 6| miles. Miniature driverless trains, electrically controlled, convey post bags, either stopping at all stations or non-stop throughout the journey. The full distance is covered in fifteen minutes. The tube also links up the offices with main-line tailway stations.—“ The Times.”
