                      AUTOMATIC DELIVERY SYSTEM


	An automatic delivery system is a system for the transmission
of material objects between homes, stores, offices etc. with as  much
as  possible  of the convenience of the telephone system used for the
transmission of information.  First  we  shall  discuss  how  such  a
system might look to a user.  Then we shall discuss the advantages of
such as system and what it might be worth. Finally, we shall  propose
some  ways of implementing the system and try to estimate how much it
might cost.

	Imagine the system to work as follows:

	1. An apartment or home or a department  of  a  store  or  an
office  has  a port into which an object may be put and a push button
system for dialing destinations.  After a while the object arrives at
its destination.
