When perfected, ti will make regular air mail as out-of-date as the Pony Express. -- In current tests, four pages a minute are being transmitted, but engineers of the International Telephone & Telegraph Company, which was awared a $140,000 research contract last July, are working on a device which will transmit 1800 standard-sized letter pages per minute. -- By sacrificing some of the reception quality, it is claimed, the traffic flow could be increased to 3600 pages per minute. -- And looking still further ahead, the engineers are trying to perfect the system mentioned earlier, which would preserve the privacy of letters and scan them and deliver them through sealed envelopes."; -- "In Washington, where the National Postmasters Convention is in progress, Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield said many experiments are being conducted to provide more rapid postal service. -- 'Facsimile mail service,' he said, 'is one of the programs being considered and is still in the research and development stage. When the tests are concluded, the results and recommendations will be made public.' -- Western Union announced Monday that beginning December 1 it will offer the public facsimile service between Los Angeles, Washington, New York, Chicago and San Francisco." -- Examiner clippings attached to verso, dated 28 October 1959.; Streetscape.
