Framed Print of 24 year old Joy fletcher and 19 year old Brenda Cawdell at work in the foundry
24 year old Joy fletcher and 19 year old Brenda Cawdell at work in the foundry. The white hot liquid metal can be seen on the moulds that they are clamping down. In the background is a man pouring the white hot metal into the moulds, which is carried round to the two girls to clamp down. One miss of the homer by either of these girls and their hands would be burnt off. The metal is 900 degrees centigrade. The work of 12 men depends on these two girls, who are the only women working in the foundry.
