摘要

A postage meter conversion apparatus is disclosed that will convert a mechanical, lever operated postage meter into an electrically controlled postage meter. The conversion apparatus is easily assembled to and disassembled from a standard lever operated postage meter. Each lever of the meter is operated simultaneously. The conversion apparatus is so constructed that all the levers of the meter can be actuated at once. Optical monitors are provided to control the operation of the conversion unit so that the setting of the postage amount may be achieved. The conversion apparatus can be used to make the mechanical meter compatible in an electrical environment containing equipment such as a computer, a digital scale, and other postage system processing devices.
