<<And one of those "electrical machines" that people used to use around the turn of the century to "improve" their health. It consisted of a wooden box with a handcrank on one side and two woven copper cables going to two copper tube-shaped handles. One person cranked the box up to create electricity, while the other person held the handles...one in each hand...and received an electric shock. If you cranked the thing like mad, the shock would sometimes get so strong that the person holding the handles would have to drop them.>> Sounds like one of those crank boxes used on old telephones to ring the operator. Used to play games with them in the 50s. No, wait, it must have been the 60s er 70s. Do't want to sound old now.
