No Cash Today
Melbourne Cash Ltd's cashier Jan Richards surveys the drooping ends of the Lamson air tube cash transmission system, the nerve centre of the department store, on her arrival at work after fire devastated the building during the night.
The intense heat of the fire melted many of the 42 cast metal tubes which serviced 21 counters in the store.
(Pictures and story of the fire overleaf).
