An ingenious letter lift is to be found
in some of the larger buildings in Geneva
The lift has compartment for each of the
stories. The deposit Of single letter
makes an electric contact, which does not
cease ringing until the letter is taken out.
At the same time it opens the faucet of a
tank en- the roof Of the house. which
causes water TO flow into the cylinder
forming the counterweight of the letter
carrier until the weight is heavier than
the box, VIXEN the box ascends and the
flow of water ceases simultaneously. A
the boz passes each story the correspond
ence intended for it-letters, papers and
small packages-falls into boxes on the
corridor of that floor. The election is per
formed by small spring at the bottom Of
each compartment in the elevator, which
causes the bottom of the compartment to
catch for a moment, and the release
throws out even a single piece of paper
thinner than a post card into the station
airy box provided for its reception. When
the box has passed the upperInost floor, the
cylinder filled with water strikes a bolt
provided at the bottom, which allows the
water to flow out and by it's own weight
the box descends to its place on the ground
floor Should by any mischance single
piece of paper have remained in the eleva
tor upon striking the bottom 1t will al
once go through the same series of move
ments as before. Invention.
