Original Toronto Star caption: Cargo containers are a time-saver. It takes just 45 minutes to move tons of air cargo from a jumbo jet to the customs inspection point at Toronto International Airport as a reult fo new bulk loading systems introduced by BOAC. Here, BOAC stenographer Petra Siemon checks incoming bulk cargo from her office, which has been set up on one of the containers. A 747 can carry 30 such containers along with 362 passengers and baggage.
