Guillotine

When rods are required they are placed in wooden trays in a formolising bath. If the requirement is for a disc or blank such as used by the button trade the extrudate is cut up by an automatic guillotine and the blanks are immersed in the formalin solution. For manufacture of sheets the rods are placed in moulds and pressed into sheets before formolising. Many attractive patterns may be made by pressing different coloured rods into grooves set on the bias to the rods, thus forming new multi-coloured rods. This operation may be repeated a number of times in order to produce complex patterns. 

The storage facilities at the end of the profile production line depend on the type of product (see Fig. 4.19). If it is rigid then the cooled extrudate may be cut to size on a guillotine for stacking. If the extrudate is flexible then it can be stored on drums.

It is usually cruciform. A guillotine cuts the extruded matl to the reqd length. The outer surfaces of the limbs of the cross are covered with a substance which does not burn readily (ie, strips of plasticized cellulose acetate or polystyrene, 1.5-5mm thick), and cemented in place to prevent uneven burning at the surface... 

Apart from design type, dampers are also available in different shapes such as louver, round, and guillotine. 

As his savings ran out, he considered emigrating to Russia and his two daughters opened a small notions shop. Each day the family watched as carts full of the condemned rumbled past on their way to the guillotine. The miseries seemed endless. Inexplicably, his beloved 17-year-old daughter became paralyzed and, six months later, died. 

In an older cutting process still much used, strands are formed into a bunch which is then cut by guillotine.

Very soft doughs that are not suitable for rotary moulding are extruded onto a belt to produce strips of dough. These dough strips can then be guillotined before or after baking.

The trial was concluded in one day. When it ended, the prisoners were sent to the guillotine in the Place de la Revolution. It took 35 minutes to execute 28 farmers. The next day the mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange commented, It took them only an instant to cut off that head and a hundred years may not produce another like it. ... 

Antoine Lavoisier was a French chemist who had the misfortune to live in revolutionary times, although he was no diehard loyalist. On the contrary, while not politically active, he held views that were very liberal for his day. Lavoisier died on the guillotine. In prerevolutionary days, he had been a frequent target of diatribes written by the radical leader Jean-Paul Marat. Marat, who once had scientific ambitions, believed that Lavoisier blocked his attempts to gain election to the French Academy of Sciences. Marat was assassinated before Lavoisier was executed, so he played no role in the latter s arrest or trial, but it is significant that he had constantly attacked Lavoisier for his role as a tax farmer. It was for his activities as a tax farmer that Lavoisier was executed. 

Sally you can t slice a hypersphere into two pieces with a 2-D plane. A hyperbasketball, sliced down the middle by a plane, remains in one piece, just like a sphere pierced with a line does not fall apart into two separate pieces. This means that a guillotine for a hyperbeing would be a 3-D object like a cube, not a plane. ... 

A further irony is that Lavoisier himself fell victim to the French political revolution, despite his sympathy for its ideals and his contributions to scientific initiatives of the revolutionary government such as establishing the metric system. He was guillotined on May 8, 1794, on absurd charges—perhaps because of his involvement in tax collection for the royalist government and his liaisons with foreign chemists at a time of war.
