The '''rack''' was an instrument of [[torture]] used principally in the Middle Ages. It consisted of a long table, with cranks with chains attached on each end. The prisoner would be stripped naked and placed on the table, and his hands and feet attached to the handcuffs/footcuffs. Then the executioners would twist the cranks, stretching out the prisoner's legs and arms until the [[muscle]] was torn, or occasionaly until the limbs were dislocated. Some cases even tore off the limbs.
