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

    This design morphed into larger machines with more operators until Optical Character Readers made the keyer obsolete. I saw a lot of these changes from my first postal job in 1968 until I retired in 2006 (didn't work for the PO for all those years!). Tens of thousands of similar machines were scrapped over the years, many in service for very short periods. Technology moved pretty fast.

    I like the repetition of form of the letter J on each column. I would not put my hand as shown in the photo. 💥
