engineer metal slotted goggles?
#1

Hmmm, strange inquiry. You never know what will pass my desk! :pdt12:

 

Hello,
I have been looking for information on metal slotted goggles designed for use by mine clearance crews during late WWII, came across your site and thought you might be one to ask. Have you heard anything about these being used, or have you seen any photos of engineers with metal slotted goggles during WWII or Korea?
Sorry for the obscure question, and thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks! I've attached a photo from 1962. These were designed in 1945 but were shelved at the end of the war. In 1951 specifications were drawn up, and then again in the early 1960s. I've just never seen any!
