It is composed of two upright posts aboutsix feet high, supported each by a pedestal; of two horizontal bars atthe top, somewhat longer than a common bedstead; of a windlass ofthe same length, placed six inches below the upper bar; of a cog-wheeland handle; of linen belts, from six to twelve inches wide; of strapssecured at one end to the windlass, and at the other having hooksattached to corresponding eyes in the linen belts; of a head-piecemade of netting; of a piece of sheet-iron, twelve inches long, and hol-lowed out to fit and surround the thigh; of a bed-pan, box, andcushion to support it, and of some other minor parts.

To the straight edge of the cross-piece bthere is attached, by hinges, d, a board, B, termed the body plane, the width of which may corre-spond with that of the platform A, and when depressed its outer edge may be even with the edge ofthe platform. The sides of the body plane may be elevated, or raised so as to be slightly concave onits outer surface. To the opposite side or edge of the cross-piece b, and at each side of the semicircularcut or recess formed by the aperture c, there are attached by hinges, e, cast-iron plates, C, C, whichare provided with groo
