Bill Gates got hold of an 8008, and with Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert, constructed a machine to generate traffic flow statistics using data collected by a sensor installed in a rubber tube strung across a highway. Software written by Allen and Gates. It took a year to get it working, and in 1972 they formed a company called Traf-O-Data. Unfortunately the device had to compete with a free service offered by the State of Washington, so was not very well received. Regards Charlie Fox Charles E. Fox Video Production 793 Argyle Rd.
