Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Look closely - and it's still hard to see the people at bottom of the chutes. That's what automation does - boosts the output and allows fewer workers. The electronic sorting system at Eaton's new giant distribution centre in Scarborough codes parcel-laden trays which travel above the chutes. The trays flip at previously designated places; letting parcels slide down to be boxed and on to billing and shipping.
