The E12R8 used a single E32R11 filterĬartridge that was fixed to the front of the muzzle piece. Rigid and could be stitched into a shape appropriate for _ Experimentation continued into 1943, until it was found that two masks (the E12R8 and the E43R3) had the most potential.īoth masks were made from coated canvas duck, which was quite The E1R1 was a small mask, made to fit medium to small sized dogs of approximately 50-60 pounds. Two circular eye pieces were positioned on either side of the leather head piece to allow for sufficient vision. Leather straps were used like belts to tighten the mask around the dog's neck, creating a gas tight seal.
