The new patent "Quartobus"cab, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The new patent " Quartobus" cab, 1844. Horse-drawn taxi:it is the invention of Mr. Okey, landlord of the Hero of Waterloo, in the Waterloo-road who is also the builder and proprietor. It is constructed to carry four inside, and is, consequently, to be called a " Quartobus". Its appearance is very compact, and elegant; and to a person seated inside, has an unusually light and pleasing appearance.
The great improvement consists in the front and hind wheels being not more than a foot apart, the draught being consequently much easier than in the old cabs, the wheels of which are nearly five feet asunder. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
