One photograph of a female fuel inspector checking a metre titled 'The tea shop fuel inspector makes her appearance'. Caption on back reads: 'Women 'fuel wardens' made their appearance in every Lyon' Teashop this morning. Wearing yellow armlets lettered 'fuel warden', they have the right to turn off any light or stop any use of fuel which they consider unnecessary. Every week they will tell the rest of the staff in the teashop how many units of electricity, cubic feet of gas and lbs. of coal and coke have been used, and how much has been saved on the previous week's figures. National Savings certificates and stamps will be awarded to the staff in the thress teashops showing the greatest fuel economy, and some girls will receive as much as £5'.
