Message: | My source is F. Hennicke's Technisches Woerterbuch fuer Telegraphie und Post (Berlin: Verlag von Julius Springer, 1889), p. 31. There are a number of references in that book that tie "bestellen" etc. to "delivery". "Bestellamt" for example is shown as "delivering office." See also Nigel Chandler's reply to a query on the visitor's message board on this subject. Ben Beede | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
