    • Trivia
      Dr. Granville's electromechanical vibrator was portable but had a wet cell battery that weighed about 40 pounds.
    • Goofs
      The film suggests that the Granville Electric was the first mechanical vibrator. While it pioneered the use of electricity in the vibrator, hand-cranked models existed before the Granville.

    Very interesting

    This is a very interesting portrayal of a little known but highly interesting medical history. It keeps a serious tone, but it still makes you laugh by the strange medical concepts that prevailed at that time.
