Abstract

A cheque writing desk for use in conjunction with a customer control line rail system, which may be arranged in an essentially "free standing" manner in any appropriate location in the customer area of a bank, trust company or other location, and which may be used on one side for the writing of cheques and the like, and having a partition extending along the table, carrying deposit slips and the like on one side, and which on its reverse side may carry advertising pamphlets for the bank or any other purpose. The cheque writing desk has one or more couplings by means of which it may be connected with the line rail system at or about the point where the customers enter the line rail system. In this way, the customers may write their cheques, or deposits on one side of the desk just prior to entering the line rail system, and as they pass around the desk to enter the line rail system, they may then examine the advertising material at a location in which they are bound to be waiting for a few minutes, and may, therefore, give their attention to such material without distraction.
