cards, and large newspapers and
magazines) and sort it in letter separations.

Sort stiff cardboard articles, X-ray
pictures, etc., and large newspapers and
magazines on ledge, usually by relays
on foot routes, and then route them in
sequence of delivery. A letter may be
reversed in the letter separation for a
customer receiving a parcel or
odd-sized article which cannot be routed in the
letter separations. This will serve as
a reminder when on the route that there
is a large or odd-sized piece for
customer.
