A hard hat is a helmet used mostly at worksites to protect the head from injuries due to falling objects. Since its introduction in the early 20th century, the headgear has saved countless lives and is considered the number one safety tool for construction workers. The hard hat was invented in 1919 by Edward W. Bullard, who had just returned from World War I. Before the war, workers used to smear their hats with coal tar for protection of their head. Bullard, having witnessed the life-saving power of the metal helmet in the War, decided to produce a head protection device that was affordable for every worker and lightweight enough to be worn all day long. The Hard Boiled Hat was thus born, using steamed canvas and leather, covered with black paint, and featuring a suspension system to reduce impact. Soon, hard hats became widely used. The headgear was later made mandatory at construction sites in major construction projects, such as the Hoover Dam in 1931 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933. Over the past century, hard hats have advanced considerably, evolving from canvas and leather to aluminum, fiberglass, and, eventually, to thermoplastic. Recently, new models have been introduced and accessories added to meet the needs of laborers working on various job sites. For instance, a ventilated hard hat was developed to keep wearers cooler, and see-through face shields were attached to better see the hazards lurking above. Today, attachments include radios, sensors, cameras, and a lot more. A common color code has also been developed for recognizing people and their roles on site. Yellow is used for general laborers and contractors, white (or sometimes black) for supervisors and managers, and green for inspectors and new workers. New products continue to expand the market. Global sales of hard hats totaled USD 2.1 billion in 2016, and are expected to reach USD 3.19 billion in 2025.

請運用文本掃描 (scanning) 策略，聚焦於第二段與第三段中的時間副詞與發展動態。首先，請對比文中描述「一戰前」與「1919 年」這兩個時間點所對應的防護特徵；其次，在第三段關於材質演進 (evolution) 的論述中，文中將「纖維玻璃」與「近年新研發的配件」分別置於發展史的哪一個階段？這些時序標記 (chronological markers) 如何決定了這四類防護帽出現的先後序列？

（推了一下發光的眼鏡，嘴角微揚）原來如此，跟我推理的一樣。你能從紛雜的文字中精確鎖定時間軸，這份洞察力在犯罪現場可是非常有用的！ 這道題目的「真相」就藏在文章的發展脈絡中：
- 前身 (d)：文中提到在戰爭之前，工人們是用「煤焦油 (coal tar)」塗抹帽子。
