AN ingenious improvement has re-
cently been made to the already
familiar steel shrapnel helmet in use
“over there.” It is designed to protect
the eyes and the upper part of the face
from splinters of wood, stone, sand and
metal, thrown up by exploding shells.
The new device is merely an
adaptation of the chain doors
which have been introduced
into metal, chemical and
glass works in recent years
to protect the workers
from the heat of the
furnaces and the
splashes of molten
material. It consists
of a fringe of sepa-
rate short lengths of
fairly heavy chain,
which effectively ar-
rest the flying particles.
On account of its loose-
ness, it does not seriously
interfere with the vision.
Many cases of blindness
among soldiers abroad are
due to flying splinters.
