England Gas Mask For Babies
The British government’s new gas mask for babies under two, technically known as a baby helmet, was demonstrated for the first time on March 13, 1939, at the Holborn Town Hall in London. The demonstration was given by mothers who have received instructions of how to fit the masks, and the babies taking part varied in age from six months to two years. The helmet, a new invention, is shaped like a diver’s helmet. A mother can slip it over the child’s head and shoulders and strap it firmly round his chest so that the headpiece is sealed from the air. Then a small apparatus like a bellows is fastened to the helmet so that air can be supplied by pumping to the baby, whose face can be seen through the window.
