Who developed post office bar codes?

Post office barcodes were developed by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in collaboration with IBM in the late 1980s. The primary aim was to improve mail sorting and delivery efficiency. The system, known as the POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique), utilizes a series of bars to represent ZIP codes, enhancing automation in postal operations. This innovation has since evolved into more advanced barcode systems used globally.


What is the bar code on the postcard?

The barcode on the postcard typically serves as a unique identifier that helps in tracking and processing the mail efficiently. It encodes information such as the destination address and other postal details, enabling automated sorting systems to route the postcard correctly. This technology enhances the speed and accuracy of mail delivery.

What is the difference between The or the?

The has a capital 'T' but a small 'the' does not. The one with a capital T begins a sentence. The one with a small 't' can be used anywhere in a sentence, except as the first word of the sentence. Examples: The postman arrived at the post office for the workday. He sorted the mail at the post office. After sorting the mail at the post office, the worker packed it into trays for delivery and loaded the trays into his truck. The post office calls sorting mail by hand "casing the mail". The postman usually cases the mail between 4a.m. and 5a.m. The post man then enters his truck and starts to make the deliveries. Postal workers may need to walk the route they are assigned, or some workers drive the route and never get out of the truck.

How does mail travel?

Mail travels several different ways. In the United Kingdom I understand that mail travels via many different types of transportation. This includes Lorries, Vans and your postman! For international postage, the item is normally picked up in the Post Office and taken in a van to the sorting center. From the center it goes onto an airplane to then reach the country destination. From the country destination it would most probably go via a van or a lorry to a sorting office which can then be either forwarded onto even more vans and lorries or, straight to your mail man!
