According to the company's prospectus "Two hundred thousand shares were to be offered, to purchase 400 Fiat Taximeter Cabs. These cabs, completely fitted and equipped, will cost the Company 350 Pounds each, exclusive of tyres. They will seat four persons, and the carraige work will be of the latest design.... they will be capable of carrying the same amount of luggage as is now carried on the four-wheel horse cabs.... At the time there were only 374 Motor Carriages, and 10,492 horse cabs.
