First, ignore the first and last bars. The next 25 bars are the zip code. The next 2 sets of 5 bars give the mail route. The next 2 sets of 5 bars are the mail carriers number. The rest of the bars are the house or mailbox number. The numbers under the tall bars are to be added up to achieve the values of those sets.
