Book excerpt: Excerpt from Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare During my studies on the armor problem abroad (1917-1918) I re ceived suggestions and critical help from the members Of the general staffs Of British and French armies; through their friendly care I had the oppor tunity Of meeting armor specialists and Of securing data on experimental work and production. Among those Officers to whom I am especially in debted are: in Paris, intendant-general Adrian, Commandants Le Maistre and Polack Of the Bureau Of Inventions; in London, Captain C. H. Ley Of the Ministry of Munitions, together with Captain I. St. C. Rose and Captain Leeming Of the Trench Warfare Division; also to Mr. John Mc Intosh, director general Of the Munitions Equipment, and to Mr. W. A. Taylor in the Experimental Division of the Munitions Ministry to whose work I refer frequently in the following pages. The present introduction would be seriously incomplete if I failed to bear witness to the more than generous cooperation in this field shown by the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, from its Trustees, its President, Mr. Robert W. De Forest, and its Director, Mr. Edward Robinson, down the line. To the members Of the Committee on Educational Work, to Dr. Henry S. Pritchett and Mr. Charles W. Gould, I owe my thanks for their interest in the present work. Among my associates in the Museum to whom I am indebted I should name especially Mr. Alexander mcmillan Welch and Miss V. Isabel Miller and those who labored early and late in the Armor Workshop, Messrs. Tachaux, Bartel, Tinsley and Merkert.

Download or read book Bashford Dean s HELMETS AND BODY ARMOR IN MODERN WARFARE written by Bashford Dean and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industrialisation and mechanisation of war in the early twentieth century, including increased use of artillery, tanks, and machine guns and the advent of trench warfare, resulted in an unprecedented number of killed and wounded right from the outset of World War I in 1914. The large number of head wounds suffered by combatants soon made it apparent that metal helmets, although long out of use, were absolutely necessary on the modern battlefield, and that other forms of armor also should be explored. Profusely illustrated - with 239 images - and wide-ranging, this book covers topics such as the use of armour in the Great War; the medical viewpoint, notably regarding the helmet; foreign types of helmets including French, English, German, Italian, Belgian and Japanese; various sorts of protective armour including helmets, eye shields, chain mail visors, trench shields and breastplates; and discusses the actual metal used in production.
Download or read book Instruments of War written by Spencer C. Tucker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly detailed and well-illustrated single-volume work documents the evolution of warfare across history through weaponry and technological change. In war, the weapons and technologies employed have direct effects on how battles are waged. When new weapons are introduced, they can dramatically alter the outcomes of warfare—and consequently change the course of history itself. This reference work provides a fascinating overview of the major weapon systems and military technologies that have had a major impact on world history. Addressing weapons as crude as the club used by primitive man to the high-tech weapons of today such as unmanned drones, Instruments of War: Weapons and Technologies That Have Changed History offers nearly 270 profusely illustrated entries that examine the key roles played by specific weapons and identify their success and failures. The book begins with an introductory essay that frames the subject matter of the work and discusses the history of weapons as a whole. The text is concise and accessible to general readers without extensive backgrounds in military history yet provides the detailed information necessary to convey the complexity of the evolution of warfare through technological change.

Download or read book Our Own Devices written by Edward Tenner and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-06-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful and instructive history of invention shows why National Public Radio dubbed Tenner “the philosopher of everyday technology.” Looking at how our inventions have impacted our world in ways we never intended or imagined, he shows that the things we create have a tendency to bounce back and change us. The reclining chair, originally designed for brief, healthful relaxation, has become the very symbol of obesity. The helmet, invented for military purposes, has made possible new sports like mountain biking and rollerblading. The typewriter, created to make business run more smoothly, has resulted in wide-spread vision problems, which in turn have made people more reliant on another invention—eyeglasses. As he sheds light on the many ways inventions surprise and renew us, Tenner considers where technology will take us in the future, and what we can expect from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without.
