Summary
Naval Ratings Aid Research- Testing the Effects of Temperature on Efficiency at the National Hospital of Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, London, England, UK, 1945
At the National Hospital of Nervous Diseases in London, a group of naval ratings take part in a series of tests to investigate the effect of temperature on efficiency. According to the original caption "after expending the energy of a gun's crew in action, the ratings take a rest - but still in the hot room". The photograph is taken from outside the hot room, looking through a window. The doctor can be seen giving orders via microphone from outside. Inside the hot room, a Sick Bay Attendant takes the pulse of one of the ratings, whilst another hands out water.
The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
