This publication chronicles the development of the taxi and the growth of the cab trade. Londoners have a unique vehicle in their taxicab, for it is the only one in the world to be specifically designed for hire work in cities. Since the early years of the 20th century London taxicabs have had to conform to very strict regulations of design laid down by the Public Carriage Office. One result of this is their much appreciated turning circle of only 25 ft. Before 1914 forty-five manufacturers submitted cabs to the Public Carriage Office, though the market soon became dominated by a few makes, Austin becoming the leading make in the 1930’s.
