1 Jan 1870 Jahr - Guillotine redesigned

Beschreibung:

Leon Berger, a carpenter and executioner's assistant, made a number of refinements in the early 1870's. These included springs to cushion the falling parts (presumably repeated use of the earlier design could damage the infrastructure), as well as a new release mechanism. The Berger design became the new standard for all French guillotines.
