The picture shows a torsional test on a car's glove box.

4-Square Propeller Shaft Testing System

4 square test rig for propeller shaft testing of light trucks
4 square test rig for propeller shaft testing for heavy trucks

So called 4 square test rigs are made of two gear boxes, linked with the specimen shafts. One of the gear boxes has a rotating actuator integrated to generate the torque in the rotation shafts. The upper picture shows a test rig for a light truck propeller shaft where the middle unit moves vertically to simulate the movement of the rear axle.
