The only thing you hear on the IPS (especially the flats) is thud thud thud as the mail hits the back of the frame.
If you take the back away........
And given that mail comes in different shapes and sizes, you frequently have to tilt the mail to prevent it falling out the front.

Dear All
We now have a draft agreement with Royal Mail regarding the above mentioned flow process which is now subject to PEC approval. A special PEC meeting has been cleared with the PEC Chair and will take place on Tuesday 25th October at 11:30 in conference room 1. It will then be my intention to communicate the agreement that afternoon if it is agreed by the PEC.
Thank you for your patience and support over the last few weeks.

I can see trouble when some of my, lets say, playful members decide to pull and let go of said bungees like a great elastic band,
resulting in the removal of skin and possibly eyes etc
