Jubilee Mail Centre iLSMs

Stardate: 130412

Hopefully nothing will go wrong with this blog given the day and date - Friday the 13th!!!!

A friend kept some envelopes with the new inkjet cancel from the intelligent Letter Sorting Machines (iLSMs) at the Jubilee Mail Centre. I have scanned in the images of all these items and present them here along with one that I had obtained earlier and reported in a previous blog. It turns out that 5 or 6 machines and four varieties have been noted.

(1) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FAD on a cover dated 10 April 2012.

(2) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FAF on a cover dated 11 April 2012.

(3) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FAF on a cover dated 11 April 2012.

(4) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FAF on a cover dated 4 April 2012.

(5) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FAF on a cover dated 4 April 2012.

(6) Small italic lettering Tag743 gives ident as FDA on a cover dated 10 April 2012.

(7) Normal block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FDC on a cover dated 12 April 2012. Full Jubilee Mail Centre over two lines.

(8) Small block lettering Tag743 gives ident as FFD on a cover dated 10 April 2012. "Mail Centre" is missing from the cancel.

(9) Normal sized text with "Jubilee" in italics. Tag 743 is FFD on a cover dated 27 March 2012

I hope to get more information on the variations in the near future and I will produce another entry classifying these cancels.
