[silk] automatic lockers

[Rishab Aiyer Ghosh]

i was really impressed last month when i saw the lockers in cologne railway 
station - you put your bag in and it gets taken somewhere underground. you 
get a magnetic card. you collect your bag not from the same locker, but 
from any of only about a dozen of these, scattered across the station. the 
system reads your magnetic stripe and collects the bag from wherever it is 
stored underground, delivering it at the point where you try to collect it.

turns out this is a new system and cologne was the first installation -
