Description: | These four women worked for the Treasurer's department at London Transport (L.T.) head office. The picture was taken in 1945 when people were paid in cash, not directly into bank accounts as is common today.
The women are cashiers and are making up wage packets for L.T. staff. Each woman is working on one stage of the task.
The one in the left-background is reading out the wages due. The cashier on the high chair is using a Bandt Automatic Cashier. She would use the keys to type in the change required, and the machine would count and dispense it. In the foreground, a woman is counting notes to put into the wage envelope. The cashier on the left is adding the wage slip. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 12 Feb 1945 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
