Being an old geezer I remember Clymer brand racing helmets in A.M.A.motorcycle 1/2 mile dirt track racing around 1949 and later. They were also used by Indianapolis U.S.A.C. drivers. I personally wore one in drag racing in 1958 and 1960
in my N.H.R.A. Altered Roadster.
The helmets were lined with cork inside the aluminium cup and had leather straps for around the neck. They also had a small bill on them.

But can it make a diaper?

That's Funny...I just noticed it's a Deckel Maho Mill...I worked with a very similiar one @ an aerospace machine shop..That's a German Machine used by this Japanese company...To funny...I can do this job with a cheap Has and a rotary table...

Deckel Maho is a German Machine, I've worked with this same machine very acurate but the plc tool changer is a Ba@#erd...Funny how this Japanese company used a German Machine...I could do that same job with a 3 axis Haas and a rotary table with about five to six operations or setups...they did it in two.

Tiger Woods could have used one when his wife went to work on him with a pitching wedge.
