Early 80's? Well before T2. Pretty sure we did. It stood out because otherwise we couldn't touch bags - we were just about tolerated taking strollers from the gate to the aircraft. Distinctly remember having to muscle Laker A.300 containers into/out of the hold cos their **** computer/laser system expected containers to be 'square'. By contrast the DC-10 system was a dream.
