postal stagecoach relay station Explanation: I am translating the role of Poczthalteria: stacja przeprzęgowa koni - changing horses, that is a relay station.. ccccc Podlegała mu także poczhalteria, czyli stacja przeprzęgowa koni, stanowiących siłę pociągową dyliżansów. Do obowiązków stacji pocztowej, oprócz przesyłania korespondencji i paczek, należał również przewóz ludzi. Z poczhalterii łódzkiej wychodziły karety pocztowe w kierunku Kalisza, Łęczycy, Łowicza i Piotrkowa. http://baedekerlodz.blogspot.com/2017/06/piotrkowska-34-dawn... ccccccccc The fabled Pony Express of the American West is the most famous horse-based relay system, but it was not the first, the largest, or the most successful. Such relays date back nearly 4,000 years and were used widely in ancient Babylonia, Persia, China, Mongolia, Egypt, Italy, and France. Relay Race Of course, no single horse could carry mail day and night without rest. So a series of relay stations was spaced 16 kilometers (10 miles) apart, and riders passed a small bag of mail from horse to horse, like sprinters passing a baton. https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/horse/how-we-shaped-horses-... |
