There is somewhat confirmed rumor that that US government purchased 30,000 modern guillotines. Nice steel frames. Quality bearings. Engineered to cut off 100 heads per hour. Nothing as quaint as the old wood model in your picture.

Fascinating fact about the legendary Guillotine: Condemned prisoners were so frightened and acted so crazily that their heads continued to chatter minutes after being lopped off.
If there's one thing the French got right, it was executions. The Guillotine was the best execution method in world history.
