Original Toronto Star caption: The beast-Metro's traffic computer-is dying of old age and one of Frank Abel's jobs is to keep it ticking over until a replacement can take over in 1978. The computer; which controls 1;150 sets of traffic lights; broke down 13 times in March. Because of its great age; it is difficult to find replacement parts.
