KQ-1153 · PNEUMATIC/TUBE

Pneumatic Tube

Notices wait as capsules in the foot of a glass tube and are delivered one at a time: the next shoots up on an accelerating tween, turning with the tube round both bends while the glass fogs behind it and an air gauge's needle swings up on the snap spring, drops into the cup, lands squashing on the recoil spring, pops its cap on snap and unrolls its note on the glide spring. Tap the note and it rolls back up on glide, the cap shuts on flick and the capsule leaves down the return tube on the exit ease as the next one launches. The note and the waiting capsules share one tab stop: Up and Down move, Enter or Delete sends the note back, and Delete drops a waiting capsule unread.
