Otherwise the new codes are all the Post Office claims. They are the most carefully designed in the world, ideal for computers. A confusion of letters and numbers, they have two parts, separated by the gap in the middle. Together they classify a letter not only to the city where it is going but right down to the round of the particular postman who is to carry it, and even to a group of houses or a single big building. In the long run, this will speed the mail and cut cost.
The long run is 10 years away, though. In fact there are only 12 post offices in the country which have the right machines fully working, and the system cannot work at full efficiency until it is nationwide. Yet the Post Office wants us to start using the codes now, so that we shall be trained when the machines are ready.
But will we? A businessman I met, praising the virtues of the new system, explained that large companies like his could have codes of their own. What was his code? Oh, dear me. Now youve got me. Awfully sorry. Hold on a minute while I find a sheet of my headed notepaper. Then he read painfully, as if spelling out a word in a foreign language, W-1-X-6-A-B.
