He started making the electric fence in 1936 and finished in 1937. His relative Bill Gallagher got the idea from a Mark Twain novel and told William about it. He made the electric fence to prevent his horse from using his car as a scratching pole. He made his electric fence out of a car's ignition and a Meccano set [Meccano is sort of like lego but metal]. It's powered by batteries. He had help from an electrician named Jack Page. He and Jack built the electric fence in Hamilton, then William started his own company and made more of the electric fence. He made more fences and sold them. The electric fence was used as military defense.=== =by Keegan and Megan=
