Three photographs of the bruising machine, one of Dr. Peter V. Karpovich's experiments. This machine was intended to bruise the recipient, so Karpovich could observe the bruising pattern. One picture has the bruising machine alone. The second photograph shows the machine prepped to strike the top of the participant's arm. The third photograph shows the machine prepped to strike the underside of the participant's arm. Another person is in frames two and three holding the machine. For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/571
