Museum are building where objects of particular
interest are stored and arranged for public
display. A museum may be concerned with almost
any subject in history, science, or the arts.
Some museums deal with the lives of famous
people. These are often located in the buildings
that used to be their homes. The rooms may be
arranged just as they were in their life time.
Other museums have models of streets and houses
from different periods in history. Sometimes
articles of special value or interest are loaned
by one museum to another for a special
exhibition. Thus, people can see the masterpiece
of different countries without having to travel
great distance.

Here you can see the unsorted mail is being
dropped onto the moving belt. Watch carefully and
you will notice how the letters are being carried
forward through the machine, while parcels and
packets are being left behind. Look again at the
track where the letters are being carried. Notice
how the track divides into two. Only smaller
envelopes are being carried along one track,
letters larger that are being collected together
by this machine are not all the right way round.
You will notice that some are being carried along
the track upside down and some back to front. But
if you look over here, you will see how that
little problem is being solved. In this wonderful
piece of equipment, all the letters are being
turned the correct way round with the stamps in
the right-hand corners. Isnt that wonderful? And
all is done by electricity.
