"In 1956 the company received a contract from the Canadian Post Office to develop an electronic mail sorting system, which they delivered later that year. The system used a hard-wired transistorized computer that stored a table of postal codes on a magnetic drum. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_postal_code: "A report submitted to Canada Post in 1969 recommended adopting a more general "postal code" system, leading to greater feasibility of automated mail sorting in Canada. Canada Post first implemented the new postal code system on a trial basis at the municipal level in Ottawa beginning on April 1, 1971, "

City-codes were being used as early as the 1940s. These supplanted the "station letters" that were also in widespread use (and are still used in a few cases today). My house was "5 Toronto" for instance. Maury 21:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
