Mask and Tractor Guard
Developed by Army Eng.
For Arctic Weather Use
A new type cold weather face
shield for personnel and ( an ar
mored kit for use on Caterpillar
tractors have been developed by
the Corps of Engineers Research
and Development Laboratories at
Fort Belvoir, Virginia..
The face shield is designed for
use under severe cold conditions
such as encountered in Arctic re
gions where personnil are required
to work uotside despite adverse
weather. It was developed and pat
ented by Kenneth L. Treiber of
the Corps of Engineers labora
tories.
The protective armor kit, which
can be mounted in the field, was
designed for use on standard D-7
and D-8 Caterpillar tractors. Both
engine and operator are protected
by armor plate with visibility pro
vided through laminated glass vi
sion blocks.
Taiber first thought of the idea
for the face shield for use in cold
climates as the result of a pain
ful experience he had in the Arctic
in 1947. While at Fort Churchill
he suffered a frozen cheek and
“this made me think how stupid
it was to have the rest of the body
well protected from the cold and
yet leave one’s face virtually un
protected.”
His new face shield remains
free from condensation cloudiness
j and has a readily adjustable
mounting which permits moving
the shield from the face for short
periods of time. The main shield
and inner frost apron are of trans
parent plastic material • such as
Plexiglass.
The tractor kit is designed for
wartime to protect operator and
machine in clearing obstacles and
road blocks under small arms fire.
However, it is also being consid
ered for such peace-time uses as
ammunition dump or oil well fire
fighting
Northern Consolidated
I Refused Defense Hauling
—' Charter by CAB
! WASHINGTON, — The Civil
Aeronautics Board yesterday re
fused for a fourth time to extend
the special authority of Northern
Consolidated Airlines to charter a
C-46 transport for the hauling of
defense materials and personnel
in Alaska.
The charter authority, initially
granted early last year, was ex
tended three times, for 90 days
each. Northern Consolidated said
the plane would be needed to meet
defense needs at least thru May 30.
Three other territorial airlines
—Alaska, Cordova and Reeve Al
eutian—objected. They said that
sufficient aircraft were available
to meet defense demands.
