• One of the largest recent orders for Scan-Coin automated coin sorting and counting systems from Automaticket Ltd has been placed by the central company of SELNEC which has introduced six machines.
Two further equipments, one of them a tipping model, have been ordered by the southern company of SELNEC for Oldham, and an initial installation is being made by the northern company for Bolton.
Other authorities to place orders for ScanCoin systems include the Merseyside PTE, Huddersfield Corporation, Leicester and CIE Cork, whose main Donnybrook depot at Dublin uses seven tipping models.
In its standard form Scan-Coin is claimed to be a fast, accurate and economic machine for sorting and counting mixed coinage automatically, and the machine is suitable for handling cash, both from conductors' bags and fare boxes.
The basic unit, the SC 12000T, measures only 28in. x 14in., and collects coins in hoppers, paper bags or linen bags. Counting speed using eight denominations of coins is approximately 1600 coins per minute. The machine includes a built-in mechanism to release jammed coins and intermediate hoppers to facilitate checking totals.
The tipping model is used in conjunction with a steel table which incorporates integral hoppers for each denomination of coinage. When used to check coinage from conductors bags the money is held in these hoppers until the operator ensures that the total corresponds with the waybill totals.
If the totals correspond, the operation of a simple cancellation button discharges the coinage into bankers' bags. Should the totals differ, the tip is moved forward and an automatic recount is brought into operation.
• The Tyneside area of the Transport and General Workers' Union is to ask the Tyneside PTE to allow unemployed people to travel on buses at concessionary fares, similar to those granted to pensioners.
• The Northern Area Licensing Authority has given permission to United Automobile Services Ltd, Darlington, to operate a service from Newcastle upon Tyne to Luton airport with 24 picking-up points. Hitherto the company has operated a service picking up passengers for Clarkson's tours but in future will be able to take people on all tours, from Luton. Beeline Roadways, Middlesbrough. are also seeking permission to operate between Newcastle and Luton and their application will be heard shortly.
