Focusing on the period 1850s to the 1890s this publication documents the history of cast iron letter receivers in NSW. In November 1855, a call for tenders for the supply of 12 receivers was won by Bubb & Son. By 1874 there were 82 letter receivers and 8 newspaper receivers in NSW. Just 11 years later, this number had increased almost five-fold. In 1890, nine times the 1874 number. The book carefully and thoroughly documents the design, construction and location of the receivers. The book includes 30 photographs and chronological tables.
