“Rocketeers — at one point there were 136 of them in New York City — were the workers who sent and received postal mail by pneumatic tube. From 1898 to 1953, the post office used up to 27 miles of the tubes to speed the mail in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. The metal cylinders, eight inches wide and 24 inches long, traveled up to 30 miles an hour by air pressure through greased tubes.”
