What we saw when we sent a cell phone through a pneumatic tube system

The Ben Franklin store in my hometown (in the 60s) had ziplines between the registers and the (somewhat elevated) office windows at the back. Clerks would clip bundles of paper to them, and they’d sail up and away. If all that was still there, it’d be cool to do something similar, assuming the phone’s not too heavy and all.
