What does "switch box" mean here?
Hi
Please guide me for the meaning of "switch box" in this context:
“His shoes were not run-down but he might have slept in his seersucker suit every night. He was in bad need of a haircut and his eyes had a peculiar look--like something human trapped in a switch box. Has come here to have a nervous breakdown, she said to herself.”
Thank you
