New thread: Bad Engineering ideas

[sapper740]

Despite an extensive internet search I have been unable to uncover any further info regarding the "Bomb Snuffer". I found this picture on a military WWII site with only the caption and no explanation as to it's developement or use. The cars in the background look to be civilian pattern but are definitely WWII era. I'd appreciate any further info someone may have regarding this device. I'm not sure if it is even military as it may have been used by Police units or possibly commercial blasters, although it's relatively small size would make it useless for anything larger than perhaps half a stick of Dynamite. Although it would provide better protection than a helmet, I must nominate the "Bomb Snuffer" as a bad engineering idea.


CHIMO! Derek.
