Headline Permanent Headquarters of the United Nations

Caption Description On the three subterranean floors of UN Headquarters are the water pipes, air and steam ducts, pumps, refrigeration units, the space to store documents and to garage cars.
Within the Headquarters, mail is distributed in part in baskets on an endless chain conveyer, which reaches 40 stories high and is the longest in the world. Each basket holds 22 pounds of mail. For bulk mail up to 500 pounds, a dumbwaiter, also 40 stories high, makes the lift.
This picture gives a partial view of the mail room in the third basement.
