Leigh Post & Go Faststamps Esel PostandgoCheckList Introduction Post & Go Faststamps were introduced on 8th October 2008 from a kiosk in a post office at The Galleries in Bristol. Since that time Faststamps have been made available at more and more outlets across the UK, mainly in Post Offices, but also from exhibitions national & international, local stamp shows & fairs as well as kiosks (or machines) in high street stores. The kiosks or machines have changed considerably in the short time since their inception, and improved considerably. Below is a pictorial summary:- Wincor-Nixdorf This type of machine (Kiosk) was the standard installed at all the Post Offices across the UK, until 2014. Hytech PostalVision Spring Stampex 2011 trial machine. Kiosk Nos. 21 & 22 Hytech V1 Machine as used at the Autumn Stampex 2011 Kiosk Nos. 91, 92, 93 & 94. Copyright © 2016 S. Leigh Introduction - Page 3 of 30 08/10/2019 Post & Go Faststamps Esel PostandgoCheckList Hytech V1 (Modified) Machine as used at the Spring Stampex 2012 A modification was carried out to prevent customers from pulling the stamp strip during printing and thus generating errors. This comprised a guard over the slot where the stamp strips were delivered. Kiosk Nos. 21, 22, 23 & 24 Royal Mail Series I (Also known as Hytech V2) First appearance at Autumn Stampex 2012 Kiosk Nos. A1, A2, A3, A4 & A5 B1 & B2 NCR Known as Self Service 'Postal Kiosks' (SSKs) The NCR machine appeared early in 2014, and before the year was out had replaced almost all the Wincor-Nixdorf machine in the UK As well as the standard 6 stamp values (1st Class and Overseas) the NCR machine can dispense 2nd Class (Standard & Large, up to 100g). In addition it can dispense a whole range of "Open Value" stamps for letters, parcels, including Special Delivery, Tracked, Signed For, and differing VAT codes. Basically, the NCR machines can process almost all Royal Mail and Parcelforce products that are usually only available at the counter. Copyright © 2016 S.

Copyright © 2016 S. Leigh Introduction - Page 5 of 30 08/10/2019 Post & Go Faststamps Esel PostandgoCheckList Royal Mail Series II - M (or Mail centres) Series Supplied by Intelligent AR Ltd First appearance at Crewe and Bradford North Enquiry Offices 9th February 2015 In addition to the facility of having two reels / printers the M Series can perform other functions. These machines also accept payment for 'Postage Due', VAT and Customs Duty. A receipt is issued, that can then be given to the office staff for collection of the letter / package. It is envisaged that further duties will be available in the future. Since the beginning of 2016, these kiosks no longer show on-screen the design of the stamps being dispensed, only the indication of 1st Class or 2nd Class. As these machines are primarily for postal, and non-philatelic use, the design of stamp is irrelevant, making operation and maintenance simpler. Kiosk Nos. M001 to M011 M007 - Royal Mail HQ M008 & M009 - not yet in service NCR Mk1 Known as Self Service 'Postal Kiosks' (SSKs) First seen at Great Portland Street Post Office - London (006009) Operational 21-Nov-16 The kiosks are smaller, they are card only (no cash) the scales have been moved in front of the stamp slots and the receipt printer is now where the coin chute was DKU - Desktop Kiosk Units Supplied by Intelligent AR Ltd First seen on Cartor stand at CICE Nanjing, China in 2017 and with Guernsey Post at Essen International Stamp Fair 2018 Kiosk Nos.

Stamp Exhibition The DKUs have 2 printers - one for stamps and the other for receipts, thus can only produce a single issue of stamps. Copyright © 2016 S. Leigh Introduction - Page 6 of 30 08/10/2019 Post & Go Faststamps Esel PostandgoCheckList Correos Post - 'Internal-Use' Computer System. Cor. IUCS This new computer system, for internal use only, includes a tablet, with a program specially created and designed to cater to the needs of the philatelic service thus enabling the management and control of the whole process of variable value stamp printing. The computer application is also accessible through a screen and a keyboard. The system includes three Brother TD-4100N direct thermal printers, two for stamps and one for receipts. The new computer system uses the same rolls of thermal labels, is programmed with the same values and, the information printed on the stamps is almost identical to the ES01 kiosk imprint; same format, size and printing fonts. Only the code of the printing equipment (ES02 in Avilés) shows the origin of the stamps. First seen at Avilés at Juvenia 2017 - 10-May-17 to 13-May-17 The new "internal use" computer system presented in Avilés, on its stand. But, unlike Avilés, the stamps issued by this equipment do not have the ES02 code, but PM17 ! (Plaza Mayor 2017). The new Correos procedure stipulates that the code printed on the stamps and receipts issued by this equipment will change depending on its location. No doubt, a strange decision that goes against the usual criteria elsewhere in the world which has each machine linked to a fixed identifier or code. This decision by Correos will undoubtedly cause great confusion among collectors. And still another change; The first block of the code on the bottom of the stamps issued by this equipment will start with a 'P' (Production), unlike the kiosk, which starts with a 'B', the original letter programmed by the manufacturer to identify stamps issued by the equipment for philatelic use/sales.

  • 'Reforming Academicians', Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, C
    ‘Reforming Academicians’, Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, c.1948-1959 by Melanie Veasey Doctoral Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018. © Melanie Veasey 2018. For Martin The virtue of the Royal Academy today is that it is a body of men freer than many from the insidious pressures of fashion, who stand somewhat apart from the new and already too powerful ‘establishment’.1 John Rothenstein (1966) 1 Rothenstein, John. Brave Day Hideous Night. London: Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1966, 216. Abstract Page 7 Abstract Post-war sculpture created by members of the Royal Academy of Arts was seemingly marginalised by Keynesian state patronage which privileged a new generation of avant-garde sculptors. This thesis considers whether selected Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeaping and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access ascendant state patronage. Chapter One, ‘The Post-war Expansion of State Patronage’, investigates the existing and shifting parameters of patronage of the visual arts and specifically analyses how this was manifest through innovative temporary sculpture exhibitions. Chapter Two, ‘The Royal Academy Sculpture School’, examines the reasons why the Academicians maintained a conventional fine arts programme of study, in contrast to that of industrial design imposed by Government upon state art institutions for reasons of economic contribution. This chapter also analyses the role of the art-Master including the influence of émigré teachers, prospects for women sculpture students and the post-war scarcity of resources which inspired the use of new materials and techniques.

  • 'Coins of the People': the 1967 New Zealand Decimal Coin Reverses Mark Stocker
    'COINS OF THE PEOPLE': THE 1967 NEW ZEALAND DECIMAL COIN REVERSES MARK STOCKER THE designs of the 1967 New Zealand decimal coinage aroused intensely lively debate and con- troversy. They provide a rare instance of mass public interest in the visual arts and afford insights into New Zealand's national identity in the 1960s. Indeed, a half-serious claim was made that New Zealanders were turning into 'a nation of numismatists'. Questions were raised of the competence of the New Zealand government in its selection process. At one stage the Royal Mint found itself the unlikely recipient of deep gratitude from the media and public. Newspapers devoted dozens of editorials to the coinage issue and hundreds of letters were published under such pseudonyms as 'Ready for Minting', 'Funny Munny' and 'Don't be Gutless'. In turn, thousands of votes were cast for prospective designs in newspaper polls that played a significant part in the eventual outcome.
