Cut string or bolt stairs
As Penny says, you are asking 2 questions.
Escalier à cremaillère otherwise known as escalier à l'anglaise is a cut string staircase.
As far as I can work out an escalier à broches is a bolt staircase

J'ai trouvé "stair horse>limon d'escalier" et "string board> limon d'escalier" dans le dico EVEREST ( à télécharger sur Internet).
Sinon, le Trésor de la Langue Française digitalisé donne les définitions suivantes:
CHARPENT. Limon à crémaillère. Type de limon d'escalier comportant des crans pour recevoir l'about des marches. Faux limon, communément appelé crémaillère.
Celui qu'on fixe contre le mur de la cage d'escalier pour supporter l'autre about des marches. On distingue le socle de marches à crémaillère et le socle de marches rampant (ROBINOT, Vérif., métré et prat. trav. bât., t. 2, 1928, p. 175).
Good Luck!

Escalier à crémaillère is definitely cut string or open string :
cut string, open s. - An outer string of a stair with its upper edge cut in steps so that the treads overhang it, used for the dignified stairs of the 18th century
[Scott/Penguin Dict. of Bldg]
Hard to know if your "ou" is inclusive or exclusive.
It's possible that "broches" refers to the DOWELS (see one of the sites Miranda has referred to) securing the treads to the cut string and/or to the BOLTS (same site) securing the other end of the treads to the wall.
Then again, it might be an entirely different sort of staircase where the treads neither sit on a cut string nor are half-jointed into the string (in a chiseled groove), but are simply fitted to the string with dowels, very much in flat-pack furniture fashion.

Having looked again at Miranda's sites, why do I have the funny feeling you have been asked to reinvent the wheel?

Sorry, not thinking straight! Not reinventing the wheel. Are you translating that very site?
