    Echo Richard Arthur Norton the exact date could be tracked back this way. Fine tones across the range, excellent negative.

    August 1913 saw the reformation of the taxi hacking industry in NYC. A new public hacking ordinance was introduced to abolish private cab stands and reduce taxi fare rates. The new ordinance went into effect at 0000hours on August 1, 1913. A new style of taximeter was also required adjusted to register the new rates of fare. ( ref. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9900E2DC163DE633A... & As you could imagine, the taxi industry did not take kindly to the reforms. (ref. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0CE5DC163DE633A... ) According to an article in the NYT of August 3, 1913, August 2 was a big day for vehicle inspections: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9403EFDD113BE633A...
