AAA - Automated Airline Assignment and Auto Strapper - United States Postal Service

The second paragraph, below, is mine - r6u356une56ney wrote the following (which seems pretty authoritative to me!):

"That isn't a LCTS (Low Cost Tray Sorter). The first part is an Auto Tray Strapper (its putting a strap around the tray to hold the sleeve on), and the second is an AAA (Automated Airline Assignment) - it reads a barcode label on the end of the tray, which has a ZIP code destination on it, and then it prints and applies a larger label on top which is used to assign and track the tray to a particular airline route."

This is a video of a modified "Low Cost" tray sorting system that was in use by a few smaller Postal operations around the country when this was recorded in 2009. So, I'm not sure how to describe it all, exactly, since it's kind of a mix/hybrid of a different systems.

Here's my personal webpage about the Postal Service:

Thanks for the info! You sound like you know what you're talking about so I changed the text and title of this video.
