This thermal hand manikin was used by the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II to evaluate the insulating properties of military aircrew gloves. It has an electroplated copper shell and internal electrical circuits that uniformly heat the shell. This allowed researchers to study heat loss through gloves under a variety of simulated conditions. The device was manufactured by General Electric Co. [NMHM 2016.0005.1] (Disclosure: This image has been cropped to emphasize the subject.) (National Museum of Health and Medicine Photo by Ian Herbst.)
