Chemical Warfare Service - Equipment - Peach pits count - Here's why
Summary
Original Caption: Peach pits count - Here's why. The peach pits are used for making the best grade of absorbent charcoal ever produced and the charcoal is used in the respirators for absorbing the deadly gases in the inhaled air. It saves lives. Great retorts where the fruit pits - nut shells, etc. are changed into charcoal at a Long Island City gas mask factory.
