CobraEd's link was spot on. They are a tiny gearbox that go inline in the column or unions between the column and the rack that step up (or down but who'd want to) the speed of the rack. Common ratios are 2:1 and 1.5:1. So if you have 4 turns lock to lock install a 2:1 and you now have 2 turns lock to lock.

I have a really slow rack in mine and given I'm a big fella and there's not much room for elbows if doing circuits I'd struggle with crossing hands all the time, and also if I was to get the cobra crossed up id have a hard time catching it. My choices are build/buy a new rack or install one of these.
