<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 390298, member: 54"]While the machinists are thinking about it, my guess is that the 2nd one was custom-made for mime training. Mime trainees’ wrists were each strapped to one of the perforated top pieces, then the mime was told to place his hands as if he or she was pressing on a glass window. After as little as 17 weeks of training the mime could give a very realistic portrayal of someone pressing on a glass picture window. The device probably fell into disuse after the nationwide mimophobia epidemic of 1966.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
