| | Guillotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the guillotine has never been used in the United States as a legal method of execution, in 1996 Georgia state legislator Doug Teper proposed the guillotine as a replacement for the electric chair as the state's method of execution. | | | He was beheaded on June 17, 1939, outside the prison Saint-Pierre rue Georges Clemenceau 5 at Versailles, which is now the Palais de Justice. | | | Nobility and commoners, intellectuals, politicians and prostitutes, all were liable to be executed on little or no grounds; suspicion of "crimes against liberty" was enough to earn one an appointment with "Mademoiselle Guillotine." Estimates of the death toll range between 15,000 and 40,000. |

| | History of the Guillotine |
| | From 1871, German law stated that all condemned criminals must be decapitated but allowed both the axe and the guillotine. | | | The general public obviously enjoyed it more than was felt good for them and a week later, the government changed the law making all executions private. | | | Nazi executioners could guillotine a prisoner every 3 minutes if required, which it often was. |

| | This is a meeting procedure to shorten debate used in parliament and in internal party debates. | | | British politicians lampooned the crudeness of the French parliamentary procedure by lampooning it with the name “guillotine” - taken from the name of the device used by French revolutionaries to behead people. | | | A modified guillotine was first exercised in the British parliament in 1881 during the debate of Bills on Irish affairs. |

| | GUILLOTINE - LoveToKnow Article on GUILLOTINE |
| | The reasons urged in support of this proposition were that in cases of capital punishment the privilege of execution by decapitation should no longer be confined to the nobles, and that it was desirable to render the process of execution as swift and painless as possible. | | | The connection of the instrument with the horrors of the Revolution has hindered its introduction into other countries, but in 1853 it was adopted under the name of Fallschwerl or Falibeil by the kingdom of Saxony; and it is used for the execution of sentences of death in France, Belgium and some parts of Germany. | | | It has often been stated that Dr Guillotine perished by the instrument which bears his name, but it is beyond question that he survived the Revolution and died a natural death in 1814. |

| | Modern electronic guillotines have movements which are actuated by a series of relays and contactors brought into operation through the medium of a number of thyratrons, tubes, and photoelectric eye units. | | | Modern guillotines also have safety devices which reduce the element of risk, assuming that the proper precautions are taken and the mechanism is not altered. | | | All operations are mechanical, and are set into motion by push buttons or by tripping micro switches which control the electronic circuit and, therefore, the cutter. |

| | Guillotine (metalwork) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The cut of a guillotine is in part a fracturing process; the blade partially penetrates the material but the final separation is due to the material fracturing. | | | Harder materials (such as stainless steel) fracture more readily than softer ones (such as brass). | | | A sharp edge is required, along with strength and durability, so to achieve these two objectives the blades for metal work tend to be square-edged rather than knife-edged. |

| | Game Review - Guillotine by Paul Peterson |
| | The quality of the card stock is high, akin to a deck of Bicycle Playing cards from the United States Playing Card Company, but not as high as the embossed and flexible cards in say Elfenland by Amigo Games. | | | The final production touch that I love is the cardboard spacer, which acts to hold the cards in place in the box, has fold out legs and a nice cartoon picture of a guillotine and executioner. | | | In summary, I recommend this inexpensive card game to anyone who likes a simple, fast, easy game. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Guillotine |
| | From an originality standpoint, the band deserves as few marks as possible, as everything -- the band name, the album title, the member names, the song titles, the style (speedy 80's retro Euro speed/thrash a la old Kreator or Sodom) -- reflects a lack of any imagination whatsoever. | | | If there are plus points here, it's that they actually aren't bad for this style, even though it sounds all too familiar. | | | Formed as a side project by a couple of guys from Nocturnal Rites, Guillotine was an obscure little band who released one album in 1997 to very little fanfare and pretty much disappeared soon afterward. |
