Bianconi car (8 passenger), Horse-drawn open coach, 8-passenger Bianconi car - horse-drawn coach, drawn by Michael Angelo Hayes. Hayes, writing in C''harles Bianconi: A Biography 1786-1875'', notes (p. 107): About 1830 the Massey Dawson cars [named after a popular Tory Squire] were in the zenith of their prosperity. They ran on two wheels, they held five persons on each side, and were drawn by one horse in the shafts, and another horse whose traces were fixed to a swinging bar running alongside. This swinging bar Mr. Bianconi used to call an outrigger. The weight placed on the back of one horse was very great: eleven persons, including the driver, a lot of luggage piled up on the centre or well of the car, and not infrequently a boy on the top of the luggage. They used, nevertheless, to travel at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour. … One of the principal reasons that induced him to give up the long two- wheeled cars with shafts, and substitute for them four-wheeled cars, with a pole and traces, was the difficulty he found in obtaining horses large and powerful enough to stand the weight on the back of the shaft horse. At the conclusion of the [Napoleonic War] in 1815, large strong horses were easily obtained ; they were then bred for the artillery, but at the time I speak of they were procured with considerable difficulty and at a great cost.

ビアンコニ客車(8人乗用車) 馬の乗用車 ビアンコニ客車 - マイケルアンジェロヘイズが描いた馬車。ヘイズは、C'harles Bianconiに書いた「1786-1875'」、注釈(p.107;1830年頃、マッセイ・ドーソンの車が繁栄の絶頂にあった。二輪で走り、両脇に5人ずつ乗せ、柄に1頭の馬が乗ったが、その横に1頭の馬が乗ったまま、横に走るスイングバーに固定された馬がいた。このスイングバー、ビアンコニさんは、かつてアウトリガーを呼ばってたよ。馬の後ろに重さが重かったのは、運転手を含む11人が車の中心またはウェルに荷物を積み重ね、荷物の上に少年が乗ることはめったになかった。それでも彼らは、時速7マイルまたは8マイルの割合で移動した。シャフト付きの長二輪車を断念させ、四輪車をポールとトレースで代用するよう促した主な理由の1つは、シャフト馬の後ろの重さに耐えられるほど大きく力強い馬を手に入れることが困難だった。1815年のナポレオン戦争終結時点では、大型の強な馬は容易に入手でき、大砲のために飼育されていたが、当時私はそれらが相当な困難と多大な費用で調達されたと話している。
