Tubular open frame torture rack, 2-post, floor mount.
Drawn-N-Quartered (DNQ) machine: A tubular open frame torture rack, 2-post. Mounting Style: Floor Mount. Orientation: vertical, only; does not support horizontal usage. Its rectangular metal frame lengthens and shortens without the need for top and bottom rollers. It will anchor itself to the floor, when in use. It will fold itself up, and can sit in a closet, when not in use. Optional noose, Silence of the Lambs penis-gag, and whip for that immersive experience. The only limit is your imagination. This is another BDSM classic reimagined by Sysracks as a fully-automated Mindless Machine for the “modern world”. For reference, its prototype was the SR2POST25.
Historically speaking. Vertical and horizontal usages. The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one or both ends. The victim’s ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly increasing the strain on the prisoner’s shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows and causing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers, this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer’s joints were dislocated and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibers are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.
Horizontal usage, historically. The rack, a bedlike open frame suspended above the ground that was used as an instrument of torture. The victim’s ankles and wrists were secured by ropes that passed around axles near the head and the foot of the rack. When the axles were turned slowly by poles inserted into sockets, the victim’s hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow joints would be dislocated.
Introduced into the Tower of London about 1420 by the duke of Exeter, the torture rack was known colloquially as “The Duke of Exeter’s Daughter” and was operated by the yeoman warders to extract confessions and incriminating information from suspected traitors, heretics, and conspirators. Similar devices were used in Ireland in the 17th century and later in Portugal.
