SPEEDMAIL
FORERUNNER TO E-MAIL and OVERNIGHT MAIL
On November 1, 1960, Postmaster General Summerfield sent a "Speed Mail"
letter to Chicago PM Schroeder,
announcing the first electronic transmission of U.S. Mail. This marked the
beginning of a pilot scale experiment,
where customers would bring their mail into a post office at which it would
be electronically transmitted to an
office near the addressee (much the way we send FAX messages today, but
this preceded FAX by more than 20 years).
The mail was then delivered to the recipient, overnight, which was out of
the question for long distance mail in those pre-jet days.
Although the service was discontinued after a short time, this experiment
was the forerunner to both E-mail and Express Letter Mail
