extracted text (Extract Text): IT occurred to C. H. Gavin, of
Natick, Mass., that every part
of a soldier's anatomy was better
protected than his hands, which
are really his most valuable tools.
So he invented a protector in the
form of a piece of
steel bent to fit the
back of the hand
and held in place
by a steel strip pass-
ing across the palm.

This hand armor
does mot interfere
with theaction of the
hand in any way. A
soldier can dress,
shave, eat, and han-
dle his rifle without
the least handicap.
