50 Years With The National Cash Register Meter Stamps 1931 - 1981

CLASS 1900 POSTAL

DEVICE

On August 5, 1930, the USPOD authorized the NCR Corporation to produce taped meter stamps for use on Parcel Post Mail .

The Class 1900 Register was initially used at the home office in Dayton, Ohio on January 17, 1931 . Domestic and Foreign acceptance of these meter machines and stamps resulted in their use on all classes of mail .

In the 1960-1970 decade, corporate competition demonstrated that mechanical stamp production had entered The Electronic Era . The NCR Company responded by authorizing a subsidiary, The Electronic Communications, Inc ., Flushing, N .Y ., to manufacture on trial "an electronic meter stamp device ." The "Pilot Trial" stamps appeared on August 8, 1974 and were discontinued in late 1981 . Featured characteristics, rates, and usages of the stamps in North America and Foreign countries are displayed in the Exhibit .

In early 1971, one such machine was placed in the AUSTIN, TEXAS Post Office . It was contained in a cabinet five feet tall by two feet wide and was used a few months for Parcel Post needs . A limited number of stamps are known,

mint and used .
