Talk:Carriage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of types of carriages each need a brief description, which might be enough to make a further link unnecessary. Some links, like Surrey do not lead to carriage articles as it is. --Wetman 02:47, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

I have been through the list correcting/updating the links. I have deleted rickshaw and trishaw which do not appear to be horse drawn. Op. Deo 09:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

When merging this article with Horse-drawn vehicles one would somehow still have to accomodate the followin info:

The word car meaning "wheeled vehicle," came from Norman French at the beginning of the 14th century; it was extended to cover automobile in 1896.

In British English a railway carriage (also called a coach) is a railroad car designed and equipped for conveying passengers.

In American English, a baby carriage is a wheeled conveyance for reclining infants (British English perambulator or pram), usually with a hood that can be adjusted to protect the baby from the sun.

In some parts of New England, a carriage (or shopping carriage) is sometimes a shopping cart. --Peter Horn 02:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some overlooked articles

There should be links with the poor stubs Irish State Coach, Scottish State Coach and the mistitled Gold State Coach. --Wetman 22:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I took out two of the pictures and moved some of the rest around. Having four of them in the header is overkill, and the complications were introducing many bugs on the page, in Firefox and IE at least. — supreme_geek_overlord 03:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
