Guillotine 1872
This is improved model of beheading machine from years 1868-1872, characterized by particularly wide cross base with reinforcing iron bars. This design was required due the regulation from year 1870, when the guillotines ceased to be build on elevated scaffolding to reduce the spectacularity of public executions, since guillotine used to be bolted to this scaffolfing. Thanks to wide base it was stable enough to stand right anywhere on the ground. Another improvement introduced by executioner Alphonse Leon Berger was the new release mechanism, consisting of two scissosr-like jaws. The later inventions included the shield, which was intended to protect bystanders personnel from splashes of blood and obscure view to most gruesome parts for the audience.
