V-mail (<correspondence by method of transmission>, correspondence, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A method of correspondence developed during World War II that allowed US civilians and military personnel abroad to communicate. The system was based on letter-sheets designed to fold into envelopes, and which allowed only for brief texts. After mailing, V-Mail letters were reviewed by censors, photographically reduced on microfilm, and sent to processing centers overseas where facsimiles were reproduced at one-quarter their original size. These facsimiles were then delivered to the addressee. The system allowed for the reduction of shipping space needed for war materials, and speeded delivery by air rather than by sea.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een communicatietechniek die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd ontwikkeld en waarmee Amerikaanse burgers en militairen in het buitenland met elkaar konden corresponderen. Het systeem was gebaseerd op postbladen, die ontworpen waren om in een envelop te worden gevouwen en alleen korte berichten konden dragen. Nadat ze gepost waren, werden de brieven gelezen door censors, fotografisch overgezet op microfilm en verstuurd naar overzeese verwerkingscentra, waar reproducties gemaakt werden op een kwart van het oorspronkelijke formaat. Deze reproducties werden bezorgd aan de geadresseerde. Met dit systeem kon de benodigde laadruimte voor de post gereduceerd worden, zodat er meer ruimte was voor oorlogsmateriaal. Bovendien werd de bezorgtijd verkort doordat de post per vliegtuig getransporteerd werd, in plaats van over zee.
