Specs for driver gloves

[Nick Komiya]

Here's a nice spec sheet for army vehicle driver gloves from the archives. It shows the regulation size for the stamps, etc, so I thought you might be interested to see it. Added a photo of the real thing to show how the instructions are being observed.

Hi Nick-san,

Very interesting spec sheet.

So which example would yours be?

イ or ロ, as I can't see any (Hatome) metal string rest (bottom) and the metal "hole" flaps (side).

Regards,
Taka

There are a lot of flight gear info in the archives, but not an area of my interest so you need to learn how to research in the archives.

I will just give you a sample of what is there. Here are diagrams from the flight gear prototype studies.

There are tons of stuff on grenades, guns, etc, thousands and thousands of documents, so impossible to pursue too many themes. I feel like a kid in a candy store and I end up spending too much time in the archives, so I don't want to go there too often.

Excellent materials, Nick-san !

Thank you for posting.

Cheers!

The samples are from a 1937 document.
