    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?

    Amazing thing. the train in the bearing is the famous UP M10000 of course. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-10000 I suppose this train was equipped with these SKF bearings. The M10000 was quite revolutionary in the 1930's with the airstream styling heavily influenced by airplanes and cars from that time. Where is it from?
