Ever since I first heard about the guillotine back in 1963, I have been interested in this machine. Not because of it's purpose, but more for it's history and mechanical construction. Although I am against capital punishment, this site is neither pro nor contra this matter. This guillotine site is on the web for two reasons:

1. To share my interest in this historical device, with those who also are interested in it's history in one way or another.

2. I just wanted to construct a web site, and a web site should have content.
