The air stream carrying the contents of the fare box is conveyed into the top of a downwardly inclined slowdown chamber having an outlet door at the lower end thereof. Paper is drawn off from the slowdown chamber upwardly through a paper-air conduit. A valve is disposed between the slowdown chamber and the outlet door thereof. Automatic control mechanism opens the valve and the door when paper is being conveyed from the fare box, closes the valve and door when coins are being conveyed and opens the valve and door to empty coins from the slowdown chamber into the associated storage vault.
