Historical information

Set of photographs taken of the first women employed on SEC tramways in Geelong: as conductresses in 1942 (Also see items 1958 and 1960). They are standing in front of a Duncan & Fraser tramcar that, perversely, was modified for 'one man' operation about ten years previously. On the tram saloon window behind them, people are being encouraged to lend to the war effort through War Savings Certificates. Note the four button coats.
