Description: | Women at Acton Works during the Second World War work in what had been male-dominated jobs. Mrs Gibbs and Mrs Houston heat and deliver rivets to two male colleagues who are repairing an Underground car. The man on the left is using a pneumatically powered rivet gun.
While much of the work at Acton Works during the war was directly involved in supporting the war effort, some overhauling of the Underground cars continued. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War Work | Temporal: | 13 Aug 1942 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
