The most important thing is to enjoy your life & to be happy. It’s all that matters.
The London-based ScanLab Projects, featured here many times before, have completed a new commission, this time from the British Postal Museum & Archive, to document the so-called «Mail Rail,» a network of underground tunnels that opened back in 1927.
As Subterranea Britannica explains, the tunnels were initially conceived as a system of pneumatic package-delivery tubes, an «atmospheric railway,» as it was rather fantastically described at the time, «by which a stationary steam engine would drive a large fan which could suck air out of an air tight tube and draw the vehicle towards it or blow air to push them away.»
That «vehicle» would have been a semi-autonomous wheeled cart bearing parcels for residents of Greater London.
