Electric apparatus for checking vicious horses. From "Popular Scientific Recreations" by Gaston Tissandier (ca. 1890).
A small electric generator is contained in a box beside the driver within easy reach of his hand. The reins contain a wire, one end of which terminates in the horse’s bit and the other is attached to the electric generator. When put into action, a small electrical current is generated which so astonishes the horse that he stops suddenly.
