"Pot HELMETS are being tried out to replace |
the familiar “basin” type worn by U. S. in-
fantrymen in World War 1.” Scientific design in the
new style gives maximum protection, covering |
about 80 per cent more of the head than the 1917
helmet did, while leaving just enough room for the |
pack and for rifle sighting. With its outer steel
shell removed, the two-in-one helmet makes a cool |
and comfortable field hat. Its shape stems from
research delving back into the earliest types, but
one of the best tips came from a maker of plastic
football helmets, who had devised a detachable head-
band available in sizes to fit any soldier.
