ODD MASSAGING MACHINE USES JIGGLING FRAME (May, 1936)
ODD MASSAGING MACHINE USES JIGGLING FRAME
Intended to remove surplus weight and to stimulate circulation, a strange motor-driven massaging machine has been devised by a Tulsa, Okla., woman. The subject stands erect within a cagelike frame of iron, and from six to eight rollers resembling large coil springs are fastened about her. When an operator throws a switch, an electric motor imparts a reciprocating motion to the frame, which oscillates vertically, and rollers apply a massage that varies with their adjustment.
Looks like a torture device for hairy people, wonder if this was an inspiration for Epilady? Anyone care to shave with this:
