- Electric Shock Box, Used by Milton Wright, 1897-1917 - Milton Wright owned this electric shock machine. One person turned the small hand-cranked electric generator, while another person -- perhaps unsuspectingly -- took hold of the metal handles. The current passed through the second person's body and caused a mild, though definitely noticeable, electric shock. Some people thought these machines offered health benefits. Others simply enjoyed their novelty.
