What are these articulated figures called ??

Sorry, my Google-fu hath failed, I'm no longer able to grok umpteen pages per minute.....

Like a flat marionette, figures articulated by loose rivets or 'document tags' through limb joint centres.

Sorta Georgian / Victorian toys, often deployed via over-head projector / epidiascope.

( Kudos to site's spiel-chequer for recognising latter as valid word !!!)

So, WTF were such flat, articulated figures called ??

My Seasonal 'Flu vaccination booster spawned a long, long night of bizarre 'fevre dreams', including a really strange costume party-.
Some-where between saucy 'Hole in Board', 'Theatrical Flat' and 'Sandwich Board', for Alice and Card Figures...
Set me to thinking, 'How could you do that for real ???'...
