Coes have three different types of pneumatic tube equipment and a cash lift. All were in regular use for making change on my visit in October 2010. In the accounts office there are two Pneu Art terminals, two Paper Link terminals, a plastic tube to the second floor (evening and hire wear), three modern two-way terminals, and a cash lift.
Coes store at 20-28 Norwich Road, Ipswich. The red brick building on the right is the "new store". |
A terminal on the first floor which is probably a successor to the Pneu Art but with modern plastic carriers of larger diameter. This connects with the "Paper Link" terminal in the accounts office |

The cash lift near the stairs on the first floor. The carrier is the same as a pneumatic tube carrier. |
The bottom of the cash lift in the accounts office |
A modern DD Lamson terminal in the "new store" . This does not use the blower in the basement. Power is only applied when the carrier is being despatched. |
