ROBOTS IN THE OFFICE.

SOME MODERN MARVELS.

NEW: CALCULATING MACHINES.

If a business man were to attend. the Business Efficiency. Exhibition, at the Holland Park Hall and instal at his office all the labour saving machines to be found there, it is doubtful whether he would require any staff at all. There would certainly be an army of typists and clerks out of work.

Many of the machines are so in- telligent that it is possible that the office manager himself raight go to the South of France while these mechanical Robos took over his work.

While the manager was banking in the sun a machine in his office in London would be opening the day's mail at the rate of 30,000 en- velopes per hour.

Meanwhile, if there was any staff left, a time lock would be showing the times when the office door was locked and unlocked.

Another machine writes, adds, cross-adds and subtracts, and when the 30,000 letters, after these little flights in mathematics, were answered, an addressing machine would put itself into action. It prints the letters, fills in the name and address, signs the letter and addresses the envelope.

"Exit The Postage Stamp." "But who would go and buy the stamps and lick them on?" you might ask.

That is easy. Exit the Postage Stamp,

"says the Neopost. This device claims to fraak 3,000 letters an hour when operated by hand and 7,000 per hour when operated by electricity. This is not quite such a good average as the letter opener with its 30,000 per hour, but in defence of the Neopost it must be added that while working it keeps a constant record of the number of letters and the cost of postage.

Even better. This appealing notice is blazoned on the stand: The machine is so designed that a neat and conspicuous advertise-

printed at same moment as franking."
