The General Post-Office; The Newspaper Bin, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The General Post-Office; The Newspaper Bin, 1844. Sorting newspapers for delivery in the main post office at St Martins Le Grand in London: a large bin, of strong iron net work with a wood frame, without bottom, and supported on four legs. The newspapers are brought in in large sacks, baskets, and hampers, and thrown promiscuously into this bin, above which is suspended a crane, used for the purpose of emptying the sacks. A man mounts the heap of papers, attaches the crane to the bottom of the sack, which by means of ropes and pulleys is raised by other men, and thus disgorges its contents. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
