I had wondered whether archaic helmets used helmet liners or some kind of suspension. Never see academics addresss that in the popular media.
Cannot picture our ancestors just plunking the metal hats unsupported onto theirv noggins.

That is a dandy website you linked to.
BTW, I never thought of them using felt as padding for the linings.
