5.P.2. TAQUIN
Jacques Haubrich has kindly enlightened me that 'taquin' simply means 'teaser'. So these items should be re-categorised.
Lucas. RM3. 1893. 3ème Récréation -- Le jeu du caméléon et le jeu des jonctions de points, pp. 89 103. Pp. 91 97 -- Le taquin de neuf cases avec un seul port. I thought that taquin was the French generic term for such puzzles, but I find no other usage than that below, except in referring to the 15 Puzzle -- see references to taquin in 5.A.
Au Bon Marché (the Paris department store). Catalogue of 1907, p. 13. Reproduced in Mary Hillier; Automata and Mechanical Toys; An Illustrated History; Jupiter Books, London, 1976, p. 179. This shows Le Taquin Japonais Jeu de Patience Casse-tete. This comprises 16 hexagonal pieces, looking like a corner view of a die, so each has three rhombic parts containing a pattern of pips. They are to be placed as the corners of four interlocked hexagons with the numbers on adjacent rhombi matching.
