US Army Chemical Corps on resuscitation exercise

Nov. 11, 1956 - Members of the 9710 TU, Army Chemical Center, Edgewood, Maryland, make a field demonstration of the newly designed resuscitator designed at the arsenal. The first aid man is shown here preparing to administer artificial respiration to a gas casualty with the new mask-to-mask resuscitator, which is under development by the Chemical Corps with the collaboration of the Surgeon General of the Army. Two hose assemblies are joined by a rubber connection to a standard gas mask canister (L foreground); an anaesthetic mask (R, held by the first aid man), and a modified standard Army Field gas mask (worn by the first aid man)
