Lever escapement
The lever escapement, invented by the English clockmaker Thomas Mudge in 1754 (albeit first used in 1769), is a type of escapement that is used in almost all mechanical watches, as well as small mechanical non-pendulum clocks, alarm clocks, and kitchen timers.

An escapement is a mechanical linkage that delivers impulses to the timepiece's balance wheel, keeping it oscillating back and forth, and with each swing of the balance wheel allows the timepiece's gear train to advance a fixed amount, thus moving the hands forward at a steady rate. The escapement is what makes the "ticking" sound in mechanical watches and clocks.

Pin-pallet escapement
A Roskopf, pin-lever, or pin-pallet escapement is an inexpensive, less accurate version of the lever escapement, used in mechanical alarm clocks, kitchen timers, mantel clocks and, until the 1970s, cheap watches now known as pin lever watches.  It was popularized by German watchmaker Georges Frederic Roskopf in its "proletarian watch" from 1867.  It was invented in 1798 by Louis Perron, of Besançon, and suggested to Roskopf by Jules Grossmann.

Highway Post Office
The term highway post office refers to brightly colored red, white and blue buses used to carry mail to multiple areas over wide distances.

Due to withdrawal of many railway post office (RPO) trains from service, the U.S. Post Office Department decided to experiment with distribution of mail on large buses equipped similarly to RPO cars.  On February 10, 1941, experimental service started on the Washington, DC and Harrisonburg, Virginia HPO.  It was a success from the start, but due to World War II, expansion of the service was delayed for several years.  After the war, the service increased rapidly, with more than 130 routes established between 1948 and 1955.  As this service was somewhat enmeshed with the RPO service, its value decreased as RPOs were abolished.  The last HPO service to operate in the U.S. was the Cleveland, Ohio, and Cincinnati, Ohio HPO, which was discontinued in 1974.

Railway post office
In Canada and the United States, a railway post office, commonly abbreviated as RPO, was a railroad car that was normally operated in passenger service and used specifically for staff to sort mail en route, in order to speed delivery.  The RPO was staffed by highly trained Railway Mail Service postal clerks, and was off-limits to the passengers on the train.

From the middle of the 19th century, many American railroads earned substantial revenues through contracts with the U.S. Post Office Department (USPOD) to carry mail aboard high-speed passenger trains. The Railway Mail Service enforced various standardized designs on RPOs. A number of railway companies maintained nominally unprofitable passenger routes, having found that their financial losses from moving people were more than offset by transporting the mail on such passenger routes.
