Save Fuel for Battle: 'Lag' Tanks and Pipes
Description
British Second World War proclamation-style poster encouraging people to 'lag' their tanks and pipes. The process of lagging involves insulating pipes and household hot water heaters such that they require less energy to heat up. Throughout the Second World War, governments around the world put forward many different initiatives to save energy and reduce power usage in order to put free up more materials and resources for essential war uses.
