Talk:Pneumatic tube

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

W00t! Pneumatic tube! Reminds me of Brazil.

[edit] EB 1911

EB 1911 has a decent article on the subject which someone may want to use to further expand this article. It is available here.--nixie 05:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The German de:Rohrpost article also looks very detailed and could be used for expansion, if someone wants to translate. Femto 11:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the line stating that some people believe it still exists. I'm sure they do, but there needs to be better sources than Ghostbusters 2 and a straight-to-DVD comedy.

[edit] Actual workings

A section describing how the thing works would be a great addition! --Cyhawk 02:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The October 10, 1865 inauguration of the new Holborn Station was marked by having the Duke of Buckingham, the chairman, and some of the directors of the company blown through the tube to Euston (a five minute trip).

Which Holborn Station was this? Holborn tube station was only opened in 1906.Drutt 16:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm almost disappointed that nowhere does it say "series of tubes", even though it gets pretty close to it... Xmoogle (talk) 10:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
