The instrument you have here in question would be a variation of the guillotine. Once used as the instrument used in putting to death those sentenced to death. As a matter of fact, Spanish speaking persons use the same name for both, guillotina = the ancient machine of death and the modern hand operated paper cutting machine.

The Guillotine. ( pronounced ; Gee - o- teen) The 'G' is pronounced hard, like 'garden.. Used in the French Revolution of 1789.

(King Charles (I) of England) Other horrible methods of execution were, Crucifixion (Jesus Christ and St Peter), , Burning at the Stake(Joan of Arc), Drowning, "Hannging, Drawing and Quartering". Starvation(Doges Palace in Venixe). Stoning to Death (St. Stephen). Asphyxiation(Choking/throttleing). Poisoning(Socrates). YES!!! Mankind has been very violent towards himself in the past.
Why was the guillotine a more humane form of punishment?
Before the French revolution, the executions were different whether you were a aristocrat or a common folk.Depending on you social ranking, you were beheaded with an axe or a sword, hung to death, drowned ...The worst was the Wheel on which you were beaten to death by the executioner and sometimes by the crowd.As a convinced revolutionary, Guillotin believed in equity and suggested the death penalty should be the same for everyone. He also wanted to make it as unpainful as possible.His suggestion was adopted by the National Assembly at the end of 1789.(but I will repeat : Guillotin did not invent the machine ....)Take a look at this linkWho_invented_the_guillotine
