U.S. M14 Tank Mask In 1953,the need for a protection system for tank crews resulted in the development of the M14 tank mask. The hose connected the mask to the air purifier and a cable connected a microphone to the tank's communication system. A standard canister was available when the mask was disconnected from the 3 man collective protection system. The M14 protective mask has a gray, 85 percent natural-rubber faceblank with a large plastic, flexible lens designed so that air enters the chin and deflects over the lens to prevent fogging. An air deflector was used and not a true nosecup. The inner surface is stippled (rough) to allow a better grip on the face and, thus, a better seal. A 2-foot hose supplied air to an M10A2 filter. The M10A2 filter was an M10A1 filter with an M1 canister coupling. The M1 canister coupling was an adapter that attached the filter to the M6 or M7 hose. The only reference to the M10A2 is the early 1950s; thereafter, it was the M10A1 canister with M1 canister coupling.An M51/UR microphone mounted in front of the mouth inside the mask enabled communications. A wire passed from the microphone through the facepiece to a connector to plug into the intercom system. The M1 antidim kit was included to reduce fogging in the mask. The operator carried the mask in the M13 tank mask carrier. For long-term storage, the M6 faceform was used to prevent distortion of the mask. Tests found the M14 mask was acceptable, but not as good as the standard M9A1 protective mask. Other deficiencies noted in the mask included the following: · A soldier could not wear glasses with the mask. · The outlet airflow was bad. · The eye lens scratched easily. · The eye lens had a distracting glare. · The mask had a tendency to fog up. The Chemical Corps worked to correct the problems. The M14A1 (E56R2) (1960) mask included a nosecup capability; was constructed of black rubber (for low-temperature flexibility); and had smooth inner surfaces, better eye-lens adhesion, and improved eye-lens design. In 1961, atomic, biological, and chemical (ABC) protection was added to the nomenclature to make it ABC-M14A1. The M14A2 (E56R4), adopted in 1961, improved the mask by adding a permanent C11 nosecup, eyeglass capability, M9 harness, and the E34 hood. This mask was retained until the AN/ARC-44-series radio sets were deleted from the inventory. This mask was standardized with Canada and Australia in 1967. To modify this mask for the new radio sets, the M51/R microphone was replaced with the M116G microphone and the mask became the M25. The initial M25 was only a remicrophoned M14A2 for use with the AN/VRC-12-series radios. The M25A1 (E56R5) (1963) was an improved M25 by adding an eye-lens outsert for arctic use and improving the fit. The M25A1 mask took the U.S. Army into the 1990s. This mask was effectively an M24 with a different microphone, simplifying logistics and procurement. Problems with lens scratching from use with a tank’s sighting systems never went away; therefore, research for a better mask continued.

U.S. Connell Experimental Gas Mask c.1918 The Connell mask was a stamped-brass mask with small eye lenses and a sponge rubber seal for the face. Official histories called this a single-line-of-defense mask; the single line of defense was the face seal. As the soldier inhaled, the air was drawn over the eye lenses to keep them clear. Unlike all other American masks in World War I, the filter canister was suspended behind the head. According to War Department General Orders No. 56 issued in 1922, Major Karl Connell of the U.S. Army Medical Department, while serving with the Chemical Warfare Service was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for personally inventing, testing, and perfecting a new type of gasmask during the first half of 1918. The experimental respirator devised by Major Connell, and subsequently known as the Connell Gasmask, was comprised of a mask made from stamped brass that was padded with a sponge rubber seal. The whole was encased in a combination rubber and rubberized fabric facepiece that was secured to the head by means of an elastic head harness. The Connell Gasmask incorporated the Tissot mask’s principal of drawing the air across the eyepieces to prevent them from fogging. Unlike other U.S. made respirators, the filter canister of the Connell mask was positioned directly behind the user’s neck, not on the chest. Approximately 1,000 Connell Gasmasks were fabricated in Great Britain under Major Connells supervision and shipped to the U.S. for evaluation. Production was discontinued in July of 1918, because the comfort of the Connell mask’s design was not comparable to that of the AT and KT gasmasks which were designed in the U.S. Some of the design features, however, influenced some future mask designs. Most notable examples are the US Navy MK. II head canister type (c. 1919) and the French Navy A.F.M. 34 (c. 1934), which is integrated with a unique helmet. The Connell gas mask is unquestionably an extremely rare mask to find today, there are at least three known examples that exist in the hands of collectors to date and i am extremely lucky to own the only one with the correct flat rubber "Connel" type outlet valve. Bart Wilkus's Connel mask is now owned by the Spanish collector Viktor Ferrando but his is completely missing the outlet valve.The other Connel mask is with Samo aka Esus Cem and his mask has the flapper type valve. I am extremely happy to be the keeper of this magnificent piece and it will stay in my collection forever.

i am proud to show you my latest Russian masks MP-3 for the GP21/PMK5 setup. МП-3 is the official designation of the facepiece. It becomes the GP21/PMK5 once the correct filters are used.These are limited series from factory testings, made by EHMZ (ЭХМЗ). Only 4 pieces were succesfully made in Red and only 10 pieces for the white one. According to the factory toughest one to make are the red ones. Out of 10 tries only 4 came out perfect red while the other six were defective in color and was pale red/pinkish in color with white spots discoloration. I am also lucky to get a sample of the casting from the machine flushing which are used before applying the actual color. These masks will no longer be produced according to the factory as they were made only as part of an exhibition to showcase the capability of the factory.

i am proud to be the first collector outside of Russia to have these magnificent samples.

Victor Berge (1891-1974) was an early 20th century diver born in Ockelbo, Sweden. He claimed to have invented the diving mask ‘now used in salvage operations all over the world.’ On March 4, 1941 he filed his patented diving mask and apparatus designs (U.S. Patent 2303155). The Berge Mask was produced by the Ohio Rubber Co., and came with either a modified aviator’s regulator or free flow. During WWII the Berge Mask was part of the USN Standard Shallow Water Diving Outfit.

In 1943 the U.S. Navy Diving Manaul, Navy Standard Diving Outfits: “The new standard shallow water outfit consists of a Victor Berge type mask, a shallow water Diver’s Air Pump, volume tank, hose, underwear, sneakers, non-return valve, instruction manual and stowage box.”

Regarding the Victor Berge face mask. The Navy issued guidance for converting Gas Masks into Shallow Water Diving Masks. The following guidance was provided: “Shallow-Water Diving Mask-Use of Gas Masks,” 24 August 1943.

1. In order to provide a shallow-water diving outfit that would overcome the limitations of the helmet outfit, a face mask was adopted for shallow-water diving. With the new mask, a diver is able to assume any position and accomplish work that could not be done with the helmet.

2. Due to the delay caused by changing to a new outfit, it was impossible to furnish the new shallow-water outfits to a great number of activities requiring them. Therefore, various activities improvised diving outfits from service gas masks.

3. The Bureau does not recommend the use of the shallow-water diving mask below 36 feet, except in special cases, and then only by trained Divers. Ascent from depths of 36 feet or less may be made up the ascending line at a rate not greater than 50 feet per minute. Divers are cautioned against throwing off the mask and swimming to the surface.

4. In addition to diving on air, pure oxygen may be used as a breathing medium up to 40 feet. However, pure oxygen should not be used to greater depths, due to the toxic effect of oxygen. Individual tolerances vary greatly, and individual susceptibility should be determined.

5. Shallow-water outfits are furnished to activities that do not have specific diving duties assigned, but have small and necessary jobs to accomplish at infrequent intervals, such as clearing a hawser from a ship’s screw, cleaning strainers and scuppers, cleaning the ship’s bottom, searching for objects lost in comparatively shallow and warm water. However, during extensive operations, such as battle-damage repair, salvage, or any work that necessitates the Diver working inside the ship a deep-sea diving outfit should be used. When diving in areas where there is extensive damage, or where wreckage exists, the Diver wearing a ‘shallow-water’ mask is very likely to sustain serious physical injuries, particularly about the head. ‘MDV Gaillard must always wear Deep Sea gear!’

6. All masks should be equipped with the non-return or check valve on the supply line at the same or lower level than the mask, since squeeze resulting in rupture of the blood vessels of eyes, nose and lungs, etc., can occur at any time the pressure in the mask falls below the surrounding water pressure.

7. When diving in cold water the objective is to reduce the circulation of water around the skin. This can be accomplished bywearing heavy underwear or by using a coating of heavy grease.

8. While very satisfactory results have been obtained with the gas mask, it should be remembered that the gas mask diving outfit is an improvisation, and the mask has been furnished for a definite purpose other than diving. However, the Bureau does consider the gas mask to be a very satisfactory substitute for the standard mask. — BuShips. P.W. Hains.”

United States M6-12-8 Dog Gas Mask 1944 - 1969

During World War II, military working dogs were used in the theaters of war. Several experimental dog protective masks were examined. The E12R8 and the E43R3 proved the most successful. The facepiece of the two masks were similar except for the filter attachment. The E12R8 used a filter mounted on the front of the mask. The E43R3 used two Navy-civilian mask canisters mounted on the sides.

Ultimately, the E43R3 was standardized as the M6 dog gas mask. This mask used a reclaimed, coated canvas duck muzzlepiece equipped with one large, glued- in, slightly bulged cellulose acetate eye lens. The M6 fitted over the face and muzzle of the dog. The outlet valve was located directly under the muzzle. It used two M12 (E40R1) filters positioned on both sides of the mask under the eye lens. A three-strap harness held the mask on the dog’s head. The M8 (E10R1) carrier stored the M6 when not in use. Thus, the mask was known as the Mask, Gas, Dog, M6-12-8. During the war 1,409 were produced.

Military working dogs were still used during the Vietnam War. The dogs needed respiratory protection, but the M6 mask was no longer useful. Dogs procured by the armed forces could not wear the M6 mask. Even if the M6 masks were the correct size and proper fit, only 32 were available and they were in poor condition. New masks were needed. This meant either procure the M6 again (which was not acceptable, because of its small size) or design, develop, test, adopt, and procure a new mask. One requirement for a new dog detection system included respiratory protection, which eliminated the stand-alone dog protective mask program. The M6 dog gas mask was declared obsolete in 1969.

Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket (also barrel, basket or pot), is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you."The metaphor refers to a bucket of crabs. Individually, the crabs in the story could easily escape from the bucket, but instead they are described as grabbing at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise.The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to negate or diminish the importance of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress

NATO Army Extreme Cold Weather Face Masks Designed to protect the wearers face from the extremes of temperature.They secure around the back of the head with adjustable straps, There is a cover for the nose and for the mouth which can be unfastened when required. Internal material is lighter in colour and soft for comfort.

The US Army M8 Mask, Gas, Service, Snout-type (M8-11-10) was developed in 1945 as a replacement for the troublesome M5 Assault Gas Mask used in 1944.The M8 Snout-type gasmask was based on M2 and M3 facepieces with the lightweight M11 canister. With production of about 300,000 units, the M8 remained in use until 1958.

The M8 Snout Gas Mask was designed for use by assault troops where lightweight is the most important factor. The M8 is recognized by the canister connected directly to the facepiece at the chin position, replacing the hose.

The standard M8 facepiece assembly is identical to the one used for the M2A3 gasmask as well as the M3 and M3A1 gas masks. An alternate M8 facepiece was also supplied using a older type molded rubber facepiece with small differences in the webbing mounts, rifle skids, and neck strap.

The M8 Snout-type Gas Mask had a specially designed carrier bag, the M10, made of waterproof cotton duck material. A flap assembly is sewn on the back near the opening. It can be closed by folding the flap over the opening and snapping LTD (lift-the-dot) fasteners. Two inside pockets hold accessories and the anti-dim set. Two flannel lens pads inside protect the gas mask lenses. Two strap assemblies are stitched to the bag.

The US diaphragm mask was improved by making the eye lenses replaceable and making a one-size-fits-all mask (called a Universal mask). This mask was known as the ND Mark II (Army: MII diaphragm gas mask). A mask with an unmistakable appearance, it continued to use the basic stockinette-coated rubber sheeting for the facepiece, but it had an ungainly appearing diaphragm. The diaphragm was large, but recessed, and the inlet air tubes were externally mounted to protect the diaphragm and the outlet flutter valve. The outlet flutter valve was mounted directly in front of the diaphragm and pointed up. This mask, while an improvement, still had problems: exhaling was difficult when facing high winds, the long hose could catch on ship equipment, it was bulky, and vision was still restricted. Research continued to create a new mask, preferably a technologically advanced one with a molded facepiece.
