Image description

Office girl in the 1940s. A woman is sitting at a office desk at the Swedish post head office, having finished writing a document and sends the physical paper through further in the building by means of the vacuum transportation system. A system powered by compressed air and was a novelty item at this time. Often called Pneumatic dispatch. The pipes led to a reciever who opened the hatch and took out the cylinder containing the document. This system made it quickly and easy to transport documents without having to move from your desk.
