Pneumatic Tube Elevators

The man in the elevator looked like he enjoyed his trip, but I bet he was listening to the musak version of "Free Bird".

Nice to see 1970's bank technology being put to creative and productive use in modern homes. I used to love it when my mom let me put the capsule into the tube.
Anyone remember when companies had these tubes to distribute mail before e-mail was invented?

try 1880s or earlier.

I wasn't alive in 1880's so I never got to play with them. I still miss the old fashioned elevators with the guy in the hat and metal grating on the front. It always made the trip up the 3 floors to children's clothes much more adventurous.
