VEILS SAFETY TO

'Roll Top' Device On Helmets

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNITS OF THE B.E.F. IN FRANCE AND THE WAR OFFICE AT HOME HAVE BEEN SECRETLY TESTING A NEW VISOR FOR STEEL HELMETS WHICH MAY SAVE THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS FROM BLINDNESS.

The inventor is Sir Richard Cruise, London ophthal=" mic surgeon and eye specialist to Queen Mary, who is carry- ing on the work he left off at the end of the last war.

HELMETS NOT ENOUGH ·

Twenty-three years ago in France, shocked at the in- creasing number of casualties who were guided on their sightless way to Blighty trains, he decided that the shrapnel helmet alone could never give sufficient protection from shell blast and explosion.

He experimented and produced a three-inch-deep veil of steel. It was officially adopted, and in the last year of the war greatly reduced the number of eye casualties.

לי

Now his improved 1940 version of the old visor is un- dergoing tests; And that can be revealed is that it is made

of perforated steel on the "roll-top" desk principle.
