English: Conductresses for the Local Tramcars. From the Coventry Herald. Friday 11 June 1915. Caption reads: Five of the newly-appointed lady tram conductresses in Coventry are photographed above. The lady in the centre of the group wears the full official uniform with which all the new workers are being supplied; a neat blue serge costume with white metal Corporation buttons and a grey straw military cap. The object of appointing women is of course to release male tram conductors of military age who wish to enlist. Occupied at present in learning new duties, the ladies are displaying marked intelligence, and it is believed they will make smart and efficient conductresses.
