Excerpt from Construction, 1918, Vol. 11

A unique means of collecting parcels from the various depart ments has been installed. An end less belt close to the ceiling in each story from the third to the ninth inclusive, travels from end to end of the buildings in the cen tre aisle, and directly above it in each bay a hole is provided in the floor slab through which parcels may be deposited upon the mov ing belt. These conveyors carry the packages to a spiral chute at the end of the building, through which they descend by gravity to the shipping department 011 the lower floors.

Owing to the fact that the old building adjoin-ing the new one on the west already contained a boil er room, it was thought to be more economical to enlarge this plant than to instal a new boiler room in the new building, and, as shown in one of the illustrations, four one hundred and fifty horse power boilers, heated by a fuel oil system, furnishes steam for both buildings.
