A sorting office is a collecting, processing, and redistribution point in our mail-handling system, and, as such, can be regarded in a broad sense as a multi-outlet diverter, directing the various items towards their destinanations. The importance of the routing components in a mechanized system cannot be over-stressed. Their design can take a wide variety of forms, each exhibiting special features which recommend it for certain applications. This paper reviews the subject and discusses the designs that have been advanced in the course of postal mechanization development, together with the means employed to activate them.
