How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Two Hunting Traps in the documented initial four-vehicle batch; an additional unspecified carriage was in process in May 1896, so no lifetime exact total is asserted.
