Excerpt: Arthur Ernest Bassom OBE KPM (14 June 1865 17 January 1926) was a British police officer and one of the main pioneers of traffic policing with the London Metropolitan Police. Bassom joined the Royal Marine Artillery as a Gunner at the age of 17 and gained the highest possible marks in his gunnery examinations and therefore the right to almost certain promotion. In 1886, however, just before he reached 21, the minimum age at which he could be promoted, he left to join the Metropolitan Police as a Constable. He was posted to "D" Division (Marylebone ), but the following year was transferred to the Public Carriage Office at Scotland Yard, where he was to spend the rest of his life. At the PCO his hard work, encyclopaedic memory and innate understanding of traffic problems led to rapid promotion. In 1901 he was promoted to Chief Inspector in charge of the branch. In 1903 Bassom saw the introduction of London's first motor cab. After completing a course in motor engineering at the Regent Street Polytechnic, he produced the Metropolitan Police Regulations for the Construction and Licensing of Hackney (Motor) Carriages, 1906 (The Conditions of Fitness for Motor Hackney Carriages). This document, which included the requirement for a 25 foot turning circle, influenced the design of London cabs for the next one hundred years. In 1906 he received a promotion to Superintendent on merit.
