Hi Darlene,

I remember those tubes, but the tubes I saw weren't used to carry money.

I remember as a child, sitting in the waiting room at Lenox Hill Hospital in
New York City, and while waiting I use to watch those tubes carry the
patients records along the ceiling, and then disappearing. I was also
fascinated by them. *S*

"tube " would reappear with your change. Fascinating for a child to watch.
Anyone else remember this pre-cash register system. >>
