NEWS • A Facebook posting in February 2022 asking people if they remembered cash carriers in their local shops produced over 500 comments. These confirmed some of the Locations already recorded on this site but has also provided many new ones which I have added to the appropriate pages.
• I have been asked to advertise a large private collection of cash carrier equipment which is now on offer to museums, collectors or other good homes. It comprises a number of pneumatic tube terminals and carriers and a somewhat rusty set of Rapid Wire equipment. Items must be collected from Cheltenham, England - they cannot be despatched. Photographs of the items are shown here. If you are interested in any of the equipment please contact me using the link above. |
