Dale Harrison (AEGIS) says:
This would have been a digital replacement for the Pitney-Bose style Postage Metering machines. To use a PM machine one has to take the entire machine physically to a Postal Station and purchase some fixed dollar amount of postage. The Postal clerk unseals and unlocks the machine, dials in the amount of postage purchased and then relocks and reseals the machine.
This is not the only way to get postage in postage meters. Some P-B machines also let you buy postage by phone. Perry
