LINE POST

a line post has to do with organizational lines; seeing that the lines run smoothly; ironing out any ridges in the lines; keeping particles flowing smoothly from one post to another post. A line post is concerned with the flow of lines, not necessarily with the fixed terminal posts at the end of the lines. An example of this is a communicator. His job is mainly keeping communications flowing smoothly from one terminal to another. Any time there is a stop in the flow of communications, he straightens it out. A fixed terminal post stays in one spot, handles specific duties and receives communications, handles them, and sends them on their way. (HCO PL 22 Jun 64)
