There have been comments here recently about the cash containers that once whizzed around overhead in department stores. They took payment from sales counters to a central accounting space where change and receipts were issued and returned.
This system changed to pneumatic 'tubes' in some stores and there is a splendid picture in this gallery of a Myers tuberoom. All those young ladies sitting somewhere among the tubes all day ☺️☺️☺️
