A form of slave chain which consists of an ankle ring with a welded ring in back and a yard of in front; the chains

"From one of the abandoned crates, discarded now becuase of its weight and its putative lack of utility, I spilled a quantity of chains to the grass. They were Harls rings, named for the slaver Harl of Turia, who is reported to have first used them. They consist, in effect, of four portions. First, there is a metal ankle ring, which snaps about the girl's ankle. Second, to the back of the ring, there is welded a closed loop. Third, to the front of the ring, fastened through another closed loop, is about a yard of chain. Fourth, this chain terminates in a locking device, which may then be snapped shut, if one wishes, through the welded, closed loop on the back of a second ankle ring. The Harl ring is a versatile piece of custodial hardware."
Hunters of Gor, Pg. 208.

Savages of Gor, Pg. 60.

PLEASURE RACK

A device, ranging in complexity from a grid of ropes in a wooden frame to a moveable, adjustable frame with chains, for the display and sexual use of slaves

SIRIK

An arrangement of chains used to display a slavegirl rather than confine her; it consists of a collar, to which about five feet of chain is attached; part-way down the chain is a pair of manacles, and the chain terminates in a set of shackles

"She lifted up some loops of chain; there were linkled ankle rings and linked wrist rings, and a lock collar, all connected by a length of gleaming chain and a lock collar, all connected by a length of gleaming chain running from the collar. It was rather lovely. It was too small for a man. I knew, however, it would fit me, perfectly, 'Sirik,' said Eta. 'Sirik,' I repeated."
Kajira of Gor, Pg. 83.
