This excerpt from a magazine, dated 1922:
This from 1933, a German protective suit:
And this from the Nineteen-fifties, a NYPD bomb suit. Note the object behind the operator. This is a “LaGuardia-Pyke Bomb carrier” developed in 1940 and still in use in the 1990s, albeit mounted on a newer truck. The device was for transporting IEDs before in-situ safe disposal techniques were developed. I’m pulling together a blog piece on this equipment for the near future.
