Some cool custom China machining service<\/a> images:<\/p>\n

Automated Postal Center and new Priority Mail box display<\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nImage by Aranami<\/a><\/i>
\nThe automated postal center is a custom-made platform by Wincor-Nixdorf based on one of their indoor ATM designs (a version of which can often be seen as a Chase ATM inside certain Target stores). It has an online internet-based connection that, according to the guy servicing it, interacts with postal systems in Washington D.C. through a secure connection. <\/p>\n

The scale on the left was custom made just for the Post Office. It can support up to 200lbs, is accurate to a fraction of an ounce and is legal for trade. The scale is the big metal square on the left, there are also ruler markings embossed onto the metal edging on the platform. <\/p>\n

There are three thermal label printers on the bottom. The leftmost slot dispenses package labels, these are the common 4"x6" vertical labels you see with the address and confirmation barcodes. The one labeled "forms" in the middle dispenses a combined Return Receipt and Certified Mail labels; the same label prints if you buy any of these services, and it has instructions on how to tear off and apply only the one’s you’ve paid for. Both of these print from rolls. <\/p>\n

The "postage" slot underneath the screen dispenses 18-stamp "ATM stamp" panes of Forever Stamps. It can also dispense other denominations of stamps as IBI-stamps on tiny slips of sticker paper that are about 1.5" by 3". The IBI (Information Based Indicia) stamps have an DataMatrix barcode similar to the ones seen on the 4"x6" labels and on postage meters, however, these stamps can be used at any time. <\/p>\n

Like PC postage stamps, APC stamps identify packages from a "known mailer" and may be used to mail items over 13 ounces without taking the package to a retail counter. This is because the APC takes your photo and only accepts credit\/debit cards. <\/p>\n

The camera is the black square under the screen in the center of the APC, and captures a still image when you reach the payment options screen. These images are retained for an unknown amount of time (the postal employee said he didn’t know how long) to deter fraud and prohibited materials. The APC also has software that measures the image and will not let you proceed to the payment screen if the image is too dark or the camera is not functional. So if you want to anonymously mail a bunch of fireworks and illegal drugs with your boss’s credit card, you’re out of luck. <\/p>\n

Available services include:
\nSending Domestic mail at most retail rates, including Package Services, First Class, Priority and Express, as long as it fits in the special chute at the right
\nSending International mail for envelopes containing documents and correspondence only
\nDelivery Confirmation, Insured Mail, Certified Mail, Return receipt (electronic and physical)
\nCalculating rates for any package you are allowed to send with the APC
\nSending packages with partial postage already on it (minimum purchase .00)
\nBuying sheets of 18 Forever stamps
\nBuying variable-denominated IBI postage stamps (minimum total .00)
\nRenew PO Box<\/p>\n

Postal services that the APC does NOT provide:
\nSignature Confirmation (why?) – you may purchase a similar Return Receipt Electronic service only with Certified Mail or Insurance Over 0
\nInternational packages
\nRegistered Mail
\nPO Box Application (available on the web, present ID to pick up keys)
\nMoney Orders, DineroSeguro or any other financial services
\nAny packages that do not fit completed in the chute<\/p>\n

Note: APC doesn’t take cash. There is a minimum purchase for credit card transactions. <\/p>\n

Belt-drive conversion, complete<\/strong>

\nThe final step, was to componentize the bike, ride it to vet the build, then to strip the frame down completely for painting.<\/p>\n

I sent the frame to the venerable Toxik Harald<\/a> in Richmond, BC. Harald was Brodie<\/a>‘s in-house paint guru in the 90s, and now runs his own shop where he does custom paint jobs. He uses single-stage aircraft paints (color and finish in one), and a custom low-pressure, high-volume gun.<\/p>\n

Harald’s standard service includes frame stripping, rust removal, and minor frame filling. I asked him to shoot my frame in gloss black. The joint where the frame coupler<\/a> meets the frame completely disappeared.<\/p>\n

And that’s the end of the project! I’ve been riding this bike for a few months now. It’s light, it’s smooth, it’s clean, and it’s quiet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
