Philatelist USPS ¢::~077110
Q) WHOLE NUMBER 180 (Vol. 36, No.2) April 1980 ---------------------------- Franc!a~ Colonies "f£. Philatelist USPS ¢::~077110 ON THE USE OF THE 'Tn-IN-TRIANGLE MARK ON POSTAGE STAMPS Roberl G. Stone Introduction of the T Cachets The T-in-triangle mark of France and colonies to indicate postage is due was introduced in the early 1800s in France, but not extensively used until after GPU/UPU came in, and in the colonies it appeared around 1876. Ap parently, the UPU rules for marking covers at origin to show that additional postage is due at destination, on international mail, stimulated the French and colonial postal administrations to supply nearly all offices with the T-in triangle. At the same time they decided to make it the practice to apply the T also on domestic mail; which was probably seen to be desirable because the colonies as a group had adhered to the UPU separately from France, and mail between colonies and France had something of the character of international mail. The UPU had not yet recommended use of postage-due stamps as a means of collecting the due charges, and the early French postage-due stamps were limited to local domestic mail. In 1881 France finally issued dues stamps for general use on all types of insufficiently franked mail. Several colonies issued locally-printed dues stamps for domestic mail only, between 1876 and the 1880s. In 1884 the General Issues of dues for the colonies were first printed and made available to those colonies that requested them. From 1905 on some colonies were supplied definitive issues of due~ but the General Issues were still used someplaces until the 19208. -

The railway network was established 177 years ago and had his golden age in the past century. Steel bridges in this network are often more than 100 years old. According to data from 2005, 30 % of the bridges are in bad condition and a speed limit of 15 km/h was imposed. The highway network and communication infrastructure are characterized by similar problems, for example, 59 television towers have failed in the period 1996 Î 2012 of which 70% were in operation for at least 30 years. -
Postmarks and Cancellations

Many formats exist. CCANCELLATIONSANCELLATIONS A cancellation (or cancel) is a postal marking applied to a postage stamp or a piece of postal stationery indicating that the item has been used. The primary purpose of cancels is to prevent the reuse of stamps. PPOSTMARKSOSTMARKS ASAS CCANCELSANCELS The terms cancel and postmark are used interchangeably. A prime reason is the use of postmarks directly on the stamp. SSTAMPLESSTAMPLESS EERARA PPOSTMARKSOSTMARKS The first postmark (called the “Bishop Mark”) was introduced by English Postmaster General Henry Bishop in 1661. It showed only the date and month of mailing. The format of the Bishop Mark changed during the 1700’s. Can you guess the dates on the postmarks below? 1661 Early 1700’s Late 1700’s FFRANKLINRANKLIN MMARKARK During colonial times, American postmarks included the Franklin Mark shown on this letter from Boston to Providence. The Franklin Mark is similar to the Bishops Mark. The 8-cent postal fee is hand- written at the bottom of the letter. Fees ranged from 8-25 cents and were based on number of pages and distance.

With the advent of the Word Processor the opportunity has been taken to convert these original hard copy indexes into electronic format, to amalgamate them into one document, and to bring the index up to date. From this point forward future indexing will be relatively straightforward and the index will be updated within a short period after each bulletin is published. To those members with a PC it will be available on-line, alternatively up-to-date hard copy prints will be available on request from the Publications Officer. The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately. As the number of subjects covered has expanded over the years it has been deemed necessary to sub-divide the topics under each colony heading into four separate categories, each entry being listed in alphabetical order. -

JUAN LIMA MENÉNDEZ. iv RESUMEN En la actualidad, se evidencia la importancia de mejorar la transportación ferroviaria en Cuba por el consumo de petróleo que como promedio es de 9,5 gramo-petróleo- equivalente, en relación con el transporte automotor (camiones) que es de 28 gramo- petróleo-equivalente; esto demuestra la economía del ferrocarril. Para resolver esta necesidad económica se realizan diferentes investigaciones encaminadas a solucionar la problemática del transporte ferroviario que afecta a la economía y a las poblaciones cubanas. En este contexto nacional, el presente trabajo ha abordado el tema de un proyecto para la reconstrucción del Ramal Cumanayagua trazándose como problema científico el siguiente: ¿cómo dar cobertura a las necesidades de transportación ferroviarias de la población y la industria militar en la zona de Cumanayagua? Primeramente se realizó una revisión bibliográfica del tema objeto de estudio, así como un diagnóstico que permitió definir el estado actual del problema científico. -
