In 1912 the manufacturing part of LGOC became the 'Associated Equipment Company', short 'AEC', when LGOC was taken over by the Underground group of companies. ('Underground' as in 'Tube', not 'illegal activities' ) The pneumatic tyres seen on this bus became legal for double-deck busses in 1928. The solid tyres on older busses were then exchanged.

Alexander ◊ 2006-11-03 01:46	antp a écrit As it was listed as "NS-Series" I thought that NS2343 was just a more precise model name Well, Steve's comment was a bit short in that respect. Buses that are used by bigger organisations usually get an extra number next to the registration number. Sometimes the individual chassis number is used, sometimes a consecutive number or some number that follows a special scheme. I guess Steve will be able to tell many more details about how it is for London buses. As this number probably identifies the bus on it's own we could use it in the chassis field ... like I do for the steam engines.

antp ◊ 2006-11-03 11:37	Alexander a écrit As this number probably identifies the bus on it's own [...] Wasn't it said somewhere else that unique numbers were put in extra info rather than chassis field? (it was in a discussion about race Ferrari cars if I remember well)

Alexander ◊ 2006-11-03 17:22	I didn't follow that discussion, but it sounds reasonable! @ Jean-Marc: I used 1925 as the year as this was the first year double-deck buses with roofs were allowed. Before officials feared that the vehicles would be to top-heavy. That is the reason for all the open deck buses in the early years of London transport ... not, as one could think, a more Mediterranean climate in those years!
