Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
The previous name (West Venture) had been blanked out with green tape at the time I took the picture. Originally entitled "Anonymous Tug".

That smear in the top left quadrant is not dust on my sensor, it's a flock of starlings coming in to join the murmurations on the Black Heath.

Quadrant Carette 2x3 Tricycle (1904) Engines 2 x 369cc (792cc)
Registration Number Unknown
Quadrant were one of the first British bicycle manufacturers to branch out into Motorcycle and Tricycle production. In the early years of the 20th century the tricar held a special position in the market: in comfort, ease of control and economy it stood between a car and a motorcycle.
In 1904 Quadrant introduced their 6hp Carette model, to a favourable reception. An unusual feature was its twin separate mirrored engines. Advertised as smart and comfortable the ad noted that the driver sat in a comfortable position in a Brooks bucket seat and controls the machine with a steering wheel rather than handlebars. The platform upon which the driver’s feet rest is spring-insulated, and powerful pedal-applied brakes act on the steering wheel hubs and the engine countershaft. The open-backed frame and sprung bucket seat will be appreciated by tricyclists, while the well-known spiral suspension-spring insulation of the Quadrant Tricycle has been retained for the fore-carriage. Twin engines of 3 HP, air-cooled, drive through a two speed gearbox

V/Line's Clyde-rebuilt A62 passes under the photogenic signal gantry at Benalla with an Up Albury broad gauge service on 6 August 1989. This was a bonus shot as we were actually waiting for 'Flying Scotsman' to turn up.
This is a Magic Lantern slide showing Regent Street looking north from near the Quadrant. There are bustles, knifeboard buses, top hats, Hansoms, Growlers and Sandwich board men amongst a whole lot more detail. It is the sandwich board men which hold the clue to the date of the photograph, it is 1883 and the comic opera, “The Merry Duchess” is playing at the newly refurbished Royalty Theatre in Dean Street. The actor/manager at the Royalty was Miss. Kate Santley, a rare occupation for a woman who preferred to be called the Manageress. Miss. Santley or more correctly Evangeline Estelle Gazina was born in Germany and as a young girl emigrated to the US with her family, she returned to Europe at the start of the American Civil War and became an actress and music hall artist in London. In 1877 she took over a dilapidated Royalty Theatre, she was told by the first Chief Officer of the London Fire Brigade that the premises were a fire hazard and would not give her the necessary permissions to stage productions. She then set about restoring the Theatre which was completed in 1883, the first production was “The Merry Duchess” by G.R. Sims and Frederick Clay, it ran from 25th April until 14th August 1883. G.R. Sims was a famous Victorian Poet, playwright and author whose most famous work or best known today is the poem/Ballad, “It was Christmas Day in the Workhouse”. He also put his name and money into a hair restorer called “Tatcho”. Further up Regent Street past the sandwich board men and ladies with bustles on the corner with Vigo Street are the premises of Scott Adie and Company Ltd at 115 Regent Street, also known as the “Royal Scotch Warehouse” or “The Royal Clan Tartan Warehouse”. The shop sold male and female Scottish made clothing for the Hunting, shooting and Fishing set. It had Queen Victoria’s Royal Warrant and the shop front is displaying one of two Crystal Laurels with Thistles to celebrate the Queen’s official birthday on Saturday 26th May when the Trooping the Colour ceremony was due to take place but was postponed because of rain, the Queen’s real birth date was two days earlier on the 24th May. The photograph appears to have been taken before or after these dates because there should be another Crystal Laurel decorated with Roses and Shamrocks. The police constable standing on the traffic island with the taxi rank is stationed at Vine Street police station, at one point in the 19th century it was described as the busiest police station in the world.

London United DT26, a Dennis Dart with Duple 'Dartline' bodywork pictured in a traffic jam on The Quadrant in Richmond Surrey on 28th April 1990. At the time, the bus was brand new having been just delivered to London United that very month. The Dartline body was only used on the Dennis Dart chassis, however, Duple only produced the Dartline during 1990, before the designs were sold onto Carlyle for continued production in 1990/1. To be honest, I quite liked the asymmetric look of these buses when they first arrived on the scene, especially as they appeared a little different from the offerings of other body builders of the time.
In January 2000, this bus and sister bus DT16 (G516VYE) were sold to Southern Vectis for further service. I believe that this particular vehicle has since been acquired by the West Wight Bus Group on the Isle of Wight, as a preservation project:
