ORIGINAL: AcademyForSlaves Be careful not to dislocate the subs joints. Ouch. I'd love to get a sub on a rack. Oh the things I would do... I once designed one where the mechanical advantage of the winch was not so great as to cause damage, the result being that if a 'torturer' wanted to go in such a direction that might cause damage, it would be bloody hard work for them to do so. This can be achieved by the use of a small winching wheel,(less purchase) and a large diameter winding shaft. Clues from cycle gear trains help in the design of winching gear. But of course, if clues are to be taken from cycle transmission gear trains, the sadist has much at their disposal, but I tend to err. on the side of safety in all things, nowhere should play be unknowingly dangerous, as can a poorly designed stretching rack be.
