Graphic reconstruction of the Pharos according to a 2006 study. According to Homeric legend, Palamedes of Nafplio invented the first lighthouse, although they are certainly attested with the Lighthouse of Alexandria (designed and constructed by Sostratus of Cnidus) and the Colossus of Rhodes. However, Themistocles had earlier established a lighthouse at the harbor of Piraeus connected to Athens in the 5th century BC, essentially a small stone column with a fire beacon.Elinor Dewire and Dolores Reyes-Pergioudakis (2010).

Since the 1980s, a list of VOS ships has been included near the end of the publication, which has significantly increased in its percentage of the publication size since then.

The technical press of the day made much of the fact that the speed change control system was operated by pedals, leaving the driver's hands free to steer the trolleybus. The vehicles were the first and only ones in Britain to use the Lloyd-Kohler method of current collection, which was not without its problems. The trolley that ran between the two wires, known locally as a 'monkey', was prone to dewire and drop onto the roadway, causing disruption to the service as well as being a hazard to pedestrians. There were also problems with reliability, which were exacerbated by the onset of the First World War, making the purchase of spare parts from Germany impossible.
