In Barbarella (1968)
The device has been invented by Dr. Durand Durand, the evil antagonist in Barbarella. Instead of being called an Orgasmatron, Durand refers to it as the Excessive Machine. It resembles a clamshell that once grasping the passenger's entire body below the neck, gently (at first) and pleasurably massages the passenger by flexing its upper half with a wave-like motion from right to left. The lid is made of long, rigid rod-like paddles that lie in a row, side by side. The paddles themselves each have one end at the bottom of the lid, near the joint of the Excessive Machine's "clamshell", and the other end moves freely. Because the paddles are not glued or welded together but instead move together, and because the paddles pivot around the "clamshell" joint and move parallel to the sagittal plane, they can have this wave-like motion. A sagittal plane of the human body is an imaginary plane that travels from the top to the bottom of the body dividing it into left and right portions It is operated from a keyboard resembling that used to control a large organ. A keyboard instrument is any musical instrument played using a Musical keyboard.
