Scope and content

B.P.C. 217

Concerns body armour for A.A. personnel. SZ recommends an armour-plate 6 mm. thick, and a sleeveless and collarless cloth coat to protect against splinters. The total weight would be 30 lb., or 20 lb. where lesser splinter protection is offered. This wear is for gun crew and they do not constitute "mobile troops".

Two copies.
