    This is like a railroad siding. Those wheeled conveyor things drop off and park.

    Reminds me of "Naming of the Parts," by Henry Reed.

    Guess: this is a bidders' tour. People who are interested in bidding on whatever postal contract is being let attend this in order to construct costs and a timeline.

    The wheeled conveyor parts look like something built by an aerospace company. Some public news articles suggest Pitney-Bowes and Lockheed were awarded contracts by the Postal Service over the years.

    If you support this thing, you have a tough logistics problem.

    How do you make all of this work with no bar codes and no optical character recognition?
