We have two types of posts in an organization:

1. Line posts

2. Fixed Terminals.

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. Other examples of line posts are HCO Area Secretary, Central Files Promotion Liaison, Training Administrator, and Processing Administrator.

A Fixed Terminal Post stays in one spot, handles specific duties and receives communications, handles them, and sends them on their way.
