Editing Gallows (section)

==Forms of hanging==
Gallows can take several forms:
* The simplest form (as often used in the game "[[Hangman (game)|Hangman]]") resembles an inverted "L" (or a Greek/Cyrillic "Г"), with a single upright and a horizontal beam to which the [[rope]] [[noose]] would be attached.
* The horizontal crossbeam is supported at both ends.
* The [[Tyburn gallows]], commonly known as Tyburn Tree, was triangular in plan, with three uprights and three crossbeams, allowing up to 24 people to be executed simultaneously when all three sides were used.
*Metal eyes bolted at ceiling level, as at the [[Walla Walla State Penitentiary]].
