Newest Type Of Army Gas Mask (Aug, 1941)

Newest Type Of Army Gas Mask

THIS mask is the army’s latest type. Among its features are optically ground, neutral eye pieces that permit its wearer to use delicate precision instruments, and its ability to permit conversation, a practice that is impossible with older type masks. The purification cannister is worn on the shoulders, permitting additional freedom of movement.

  4. Hmm. Seems like the airflow is directed to the eye pieces. Seems pretty smart to me, since it should prevent fogging of the lenses. I wonder why my modern respirator does not do that…

  5. looks very useful and practical. there is no tube getting in the way, and the position of the tubes prevent fogging of the lenses. the only thing that i think could be improved is larger lenses.
