International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Great Britain/UPF Model "HS" & "EHS"

Universal Postal Frankers Ltd. Model "HS" and "EHS".
Ten International Postal Supply Co., Ltd. Model "M" cancelling machines were imported from the United States in 1923 by Universal Postal Frankers Ltd., and these were fitted with single-value detachable meters manufactured at UPF’s experimental works. Two versions of the machine were created, the Model "HS" (High Speed) and the Model "EHS" (Extra High Speed). One machine (London W.C.2., M# blank) was used for demonstration purposes, while another was returned to IPS in 1924 fitted with a 1½d meter. The Model HS/EHS could not print a slogan, although the demonstration machine is known with a separately applied slogan. Machines known postally used are listed below.
