Британская таблица для расчета длины веревки при виселице с длинным свободным падением. Официальная таблица длины свободного падения, ранее издававшаяся британским Министерством внутренних дел, представляет собой руководство, используемое для расчета подходящей длины веревки при виселице с длинным свободным падением. После серии неудачных повешений, включая повешения Джона Бэббакомба Ли, в 1886 году был сформирован комитет под председательством Генри Брюса, 1-го барона Абердара, для определения и оценки наиболее эффективного способа проведения повешения. Отчет комитета был опубликован в 1888 году и рекомендовал энергию свободного падения. В апреле 1892 года Министерство внутренних дел пересмотрело это значение, основываясь на энергии. Однако на практике висельники игнорировали эту таблицу и использовали значительно большую длину свободного падения. В октябре 1913 года было опубликовано значительно пересмотренное издание Таблицы длины свободного падения, допускающее энергию свободного падения, а затем, начиная с 1939 года, палачи регулярно добавляли еще девять дюймов к длине свободного падения, указанной в Таблице 1913 года. Таблица продолжала использоваться в Соединенном Королевстве до приостановления смертной казни в 1965 году, а Великобритания полностью отменила смертную казнь в 1998 году. Таблица по-прежнему используется в бывших британских колониях, сохранивших смертную казнь через повешение, таких как Сингапур.
The Official Table of Drops, formerly issued by the British Home Office, is a manual which is used to calculate the appropriate length of rope for long drop hangings. Following a series of failed hangings, including those of John Babbacombe Lee, a committee chaired by Henry Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare was formed in 1886 to discover and report on the most effective manner of hanging. The committee's report was printed in 1888 and recommended a drop energy of In April 1892, the Home Office revised this based on an energy of In practice, however, the hangmen ignored this table and used considerably longer drops. A significantly revised edition of the Table of Drops was published in October 1913, allowing of drop energy – and then from 1939 executioners routinely added nine more inches to the drop in the 1913 Table. The Table continued to be used in the United Kingdom until the country suspended capital punishment in 1965, and the UK abolished the death penalty altogether in 1998. The Table remains in use in former British colonies that have retained capital punishment by hanging, such as Singapore.
