Here’s some pretty strange diagrams of 30 ways to die by electrocution from a 1931 illustrated German book on electric safety. Anybody got any idea what the hell’s going on with that baby electrocution. Can’t for the life in me think what that contraption would be for, other than to electrocute you!

The “contraption” in the second image, belongs to the kettle on the nightstand. They would be connected to these “contacts” of the kettle and would warm up whatever is in the kettle.
