Credit Goes To----->
The French got credit for creating it, but was really invented by a German engineer by the name of Tobias Schmidt. Original design was different than the one poeple know today. It was first used in Paris and was made of 3 peices of wood. Two peices were used on either side of the blade standing tall, with groves on the inside of them to allow the blade to run through. There was another peice of timber on the top used as a cross beam. The blade would drop down the groves, cut the head off, and drop it into a wicker basket.
