Description: | A reproduction of a photograph of Guy Motors employee Hilda Durman, at work checking parts at the factory during the Second World War (1939-1945). Female workers were taken on to make up for the shortfall of male workers that ocurred when they were called up for the forces during the Second World War (1939-1945). They had not previously been employed at the factory, and the company made history recruiting part time workers for the first time. Production at this time had been turned over entirely to Government use in 1938. The 'Ant' and 'Quad-Ant' military vehicles, the Guy light tank, and a searchlight generator chassis were all made here at this time. The image was taken from a brochure designed to recruit women into the factory. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Motor vehicles Photographs First World War (1914-1918) | Temporal: | 1939-1945 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
