2. December 1978

 1. Introduction

 

On December 2nd 1978 Norway introduced labels in sale from vending machines (ATMs). From the 1999 issue, the Philatelic Bureau (PFT) wanted an easier life concerning philatelic orders. The employes spent too much time getting the labels from the vending machines. PFT ordered the printer of the 11.06.1999 issue to deliver them labels with preprinted sales values. The coil was cut by the printer and delivered PFT as singles only. Per definition these are not vending machine labels, but stamps. These are numbered in the “Norgeskatalogen” with the prefix PFE and they exist as singles only. The differences between the PFEs and the ATMs are shown here:

 2. Differences between ATM Franking Labels and PFE Stamps
ATM 4: Wide space between "K" and "r"                                 PFE 1 - 10: Narrow space between "K" and "r"
The shapes and sizes of the value figures are different. The ATMs are placed at bottom of the back-paper while the PFEs are placed in the middle
ATM 5: Height of value figures is 3,1 mm.  Position of value differs from label to label. even for labels with same value. PFE 11-18: Height of value figures is 3,5 mm. The same position of value for all stamps of same value. Value with darker colour.
ATM 6: On yellowish backpaper. Position of value differs from label to label. even for labels with same value. PFE 19-24: On white backpaper. The same position of value for all stamps of same value. Value with darker colour.
ATM 10: On yellowish backpaper. Position of value differs from label to label. even for labels with same value. PFE 25-34: On white, thick backpaper. Same position of value for all stamps of same value. Value with darker colour than ATM 10.
