- Violet ray generator; box is black, silver corners, hinged lid, two hinged snap closures, black handle; inside lid is brown velvet with silver holders for glass tube attachments; plaque "CHAS.A.BRANSTON LIMITED"; in box left side is voltage dial, three black control knobs; right side is compartment for two cords, one with plug end, other with hollow brown bakelite? handle; with two discs on handles, two metal tubes, one roller with handle, metal rectangle, and red instruction booklet "THE BRANSTON VIOLET RAY HIGH FREQUENCY GENERATOR", illustrated; c. 1928
- Object History
- This is a Branston Violet Ray Generator. Branston’s claims were similar to those of other Violet Ray makers. Treatments are given for over a hundred ailments, ranging from abscess through appendicitis, colitis, diabetes, glaucoma, gonorrhoea, haemmorrhoids, impotence, laryngitis, mumps, pyorrhea, tuberculosis, ulcers, wrinkles and even writer’s cramp.
Electrical medical devices like this one were popular for decades among physicians, irregular practitioners, and home users, who could purchase them through catalogs and drugstores. The machine plugs into an electrical wall outlet. A glass electrode plugs into the wand, produces a violet glow, and delivers a spark when touched to the skin. The strength of the spark, controlled by the voltage selector, ranges from mild to quite intense. Attachments could stimulate many body parts.
