Touchamatic desktop postage metering machine
Pitney Bowes Inc. · 1968
The Pitney Bowes Touchomatic meter machines were the first fully electronic postage meters. The models were introduced in late 1968 with keypads similar to the newly popular touch-tone telephones. Postage was entered from the keypad and shown on an electronic display. Often the meter was attached to a scale that helped to set postage automatically. Sometimes the meter was attached to more elaborate mailing equipment.
