This is a sketch of a prototype Automated Postal Service machine which was used near Liverpool Street Station in London, to let people weigh their own parcels for sending.
This is a sketch of the 'E II R' Royal Cypher, for Elizabeth the Second Regina ('regina' means Queen in Latin). You see this on most Royal Mail vehicles today, except those in Scotland, where they only use a picture of a crown. This is because Queen Elizabeth is only the first queen by that name in Scotland, but the second in England. There is a drawing on Slide 6 of a vehicle with the Scottish crown.
This is a sketch of a Bedford mini van used by Royal Mail. The Bensham Manor students drew a lot of pictures of this van from different angles.
