Jauks/jakes made some sense, but the connection to Jacquard seems tenuous (and anachronistic). --Old Dickens 00:13, 7 June 2011 (CEST)

Now that's interesting... makes more sense and has more evidence going for it than my leap of semantics, which did feel right. Maybe a rewrite and a suggestion HEX might be involved at some level? (Is there a reference soemwhere to punched cards in a HEX context?) --AgProv 14:13, 7 June 2011 (CEST)

I mean the connection between "jacquards" (punch cards in either universe) and "jakes" (a potty, loo, gazunda, etc.) is hard to find and could use a reference. --Old Dickens (talk) 04:13, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
