Complete Record: The workings of the U.S. postal system are demonstrated by a true story about a boy with a hearing disability and his correspondence with a professional football player, running back Larry Brown of the Washington Redskins, who has the same problem. Teaches the correct way to address letters and highlights the jobs that postal workers and machinery perform. It also shows the manner in which Brown affixed a hearing aid to the inside of his helmet. The SCF (Sectional Center Facility) machine allows specially trained postal clerks to visually can one letter per second, then strike three keys to encode the last three digits of a zip code.
