STANDARD DESCRIPTION. CHECK WHETHER OBJECT IS IN THIS COMPLETE STATE WHEN FIGURE DISMANTLED. Grey-green rubber face cup, the inner edge lined in suede, shaped so as to fit over the nose and chin. Below the chin an oval section extension housing the expiratory valve and the oxygen supply inlet which bifurcates and is carried into the upper part of the mask in ducts fashioned within the wall of the mask. Inspiratory valve in lower left cheek. Above the oval extension, a large circular central aperture housing the microphone which is clamped in by a wire ring and sealed with a rubber collar. Around the oval extension, and attached by brackets to the microphone clamp ring, an adjustable, cotton webbing suspension harness terminating on the left in a leather pad with two female press studs and on the right with a single strap and a metal loop. The press studs engage with male studs on the left side of the helmet and the loop engages with a flat hook attached to the right side. A connecting cable and plug emerge from the bottom of the microphone casing. A copper wire held in loops cast into the rubber of the mask, is positioned across the nose to ensure a snug fit in that area. Oxygen pipe of black, corrugated rubber with plastic upper end to screw into the inlet and white alloy lower end to connect to aircraft oxygen supply system. Lower end fitted with bulldog clip to attach to harness or clothing to stop the weight of the supply pipe draging the mask off the face.
