Origin of the name "Salle des Machines"

At Present the article states: ″It was also known as the Salle des Machines, because of its elaborate stage machinery, designed by the Italian theatre architects Gaspare Vigarani and his two sons, Carlo and Lodovico.″ I found a source (Jacques Hillairet, Le Palais des Tuileries: Le palais royal et impérial et son jardin, Les Édiditions de Minuit, Paris 1965, pp. 41–42) which opines ("sans doute") that the installation of a "machine pour les changements à vue et les illusions d'optique" done by the architect Servandoni in 1738 when he built in an "entresol" marked the origin of the name "Salle des Machines". ----130.83.197.103 (talk) 14:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
