The Rack

The Rack is a torture device created in Medieval Britain. It consists of an oblong, rectangular frame usually made of wood. This frame would be slightly raised off the ground, with a roller at either one or both ends. There would be a fixed bar at one end to which the victim’s legs would be fastened, and on the other end, a movable bar to which the hands would be tied. A handle and ratchet would be attached to the top roller.
