Spanking Machine Invented By Cedar Point Farmhand
An Anoka report describes Marvey Miller, a farmhand for JS E Reynolds near Cedar Point, creating a "mother's help" device. The machine uses phonographs to urge children to behave and a powered paddle to spank, with age based settings from two to sixteen and terms like light to serious. Miller tested it on himself, strapped to a board, while friends operated the device.
