Provenance

FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS
A planchette—from the French for “little plank”—is a small triangular or heart-shaped board on two casters. The device is used for two different automatic processes conceived by Spiritualists. When a hole is drilled into it and a pencil or pen is inserted, it can be used to invoke automatic writing or drawing. Without the writing implement, it can be used to spell out spirit messages by point-ing to printed letters on a “talking,” or Ouija, board.

FRANÇAIS

Une "planchette" (en français dans le texte, ndlr) est une petite planche triangulaire ou en forme de cœur montée sur deux roulettes. L'appareil est utilisé pour deux processus automatiques différents conçus par les Spirites. Lorsqu'un trou y est percé et qu'un crayon ou un stylo y est inséré, elle peut être utilisée pour pratiquer l'écriture ou le dessin automatique. Sans l'instrument d'écriture, elle peut servir à épeler des messages spirituels en pointant les lettres imprimées sur un tableau « parlant », ou Ouija.
