Great stuff, back when the CFD made their own belts in the shops. I love the part showing the various old (filter) masks the CFD used back in the 60s, quite interesting to see all the different types. I always thought they didn’t adopt any masks until the late 70s/early 80s, still there are at least 3 types in this manual, probably used just by the squads. Also anybody’s got any info what type of masks the CFD used back in the early 20th century? I know in 1912 they purchased a few SCBAs from Draeger (Germany).
