Это небезытересное приспособление фабрики бр. Демулен (очень, надо сказать, изобретательных людей, вы еще не раз о них услышите) я рискну приблизительно датировать 1870-1890. Предположу даже, что более вероятны 1872-1879. Нужно отметить, что лично графиня считает крайне нерациональным расход около тридцати долларов на устройство, легко заменяемое более простыми и дешевыми домашними средствами, и, к тому же, вызывающее закономерные опасения за безопасность использования.
With this machine the candidate cannot kick his own pants while wearing them, but can have them spanked where his mother used to apply the sole of her slipper, by simply testing his strength. The position in which he places himself causes a little strain in the seat of his pants, which is not objectionable, as it pulls up the slack when he pulls up on the handles. Just about the time he gets well started lifting, a trigger is automatically released, which causes the spanking paddle to spring into place and strike him on the kazabo, at the same time exploding a 32-calibre blank cartridge with a loud report. (Paddle can be easily removed and used as a spanker). That is not all: there is also an electric attachment concealed under the platform of the machine that turns on a good current of electricity at the same time the paddle hits his pants.
See suggestions for introducing, page XIX in pack of catalog.
Great improvements have been made in the electrical parts of this machine. We now use a special coil with dry batteries, which is almost impossible to get out of order. Each machine is guaranteed to give a good strong electric current, and will not get out of order, except for the occasional replacing of dry batteries. (Weight, packed, 55 pounds).
The machine takes up but little room. Handles and paddle can be easily removed, so that it will fit in a box 22x34x5 ½ inches.
