Comment Photos taken during the first 15 years of the system's life are scarce, but those that have survived (see link) reveal that staff were issued with uniforms; marked buttons are however yet to come to light, suggesting that they were either plain, or that they bore initials or a device that is not readily identifiable as an issue of the GR&NTCoLtd. In later years, staff simply wore informal attire.
