Bianconi car (6 passenger), Horse-drawn open coach, Open horse-drawn coach, drawn by Michael Angelo Hayes. Charles Bianconi, quoted in his daughter's biography of him, ''Charles Bianconi: A Biography 1786-1875'', says (p 78): My establishment originated immediately after the peace of 1815, having then had the advantage of a supply of first-class horses intended for the army, which I bought from ten to twenty pounds apiece, one of which drew a car and six persons with ease at the rate of seven miles an hour. The demand for such horses having ceased, the breeding of them naturally diminished, and, after some time, I found it necessary to put two inferior horses to do the work of one. Finding I thus had extra horse power, I increased the size of the car which originally held six passengers, three on each side, to one capable of carrying eight ; and in proportion as the breed of horses improved, I continued to increase the size of the cars for summer work, and to add to the number of horses in winter, for the conveyance of the same number of passengers, until I converted the two-wheeled two-horse cars into four wheeled cars drawn by two, three, or four horses, according to the traffic on the respective roads, and the wants of the public.

ビアンコニ客車(6人乗り) マイケルアンジェロヘイズが描いた、馬をモチーフにしたオープンカー。チャールズ・ビアンコーニは娘の伝記「チャールズ・ビアンコーニ: 1786-1875」で引用されている。[p 78] によれば、1815年の和平直後、私が軍隊のために意図された一等馬の供給という利点を持っていたので、私は10ポンドから20ポンドの1枚から購入し、そのうちの1枚は車と6人を1時間あたり7マイルの割合で簡単に引き出した。そうした馬の需要がなくなったために、繁殖力が自然に低下し、しばらくして、劣等な2頭の馬を1頭の働きに使う必要に迫られた。馬力が増して、元々は6人乗りで片側3人乗りで片側8人乗りで、馬の品種改良に比例して夏場の作業用として、冬場の馬の増減と、同じ数の輸送のために、二輪車を2頭、3頭、4頭の馬で4輪車に改造した。
