WEIGHING half as much as
former types, an “assault com-
bat mask” developed by the
Chemical Warfare Service dis-
penses with the familiar breath-
ing tube leading to a separate
canister. Instead, the air-puri-
fying canister is built into the
side of the mask, as shown in
the photo at left. If dropped
in the water, it will float and
may easily be recovered. A
carrying case also holds trans-
parent eye shields for use with-
out the mask, and a garment
to shield the body from blister
gases, together with special
ointment for treating blisters.
An antifogging chemical also is
provided for use in keeping the
mask eyepieces from clouding.
