| 释义 |
A runabout is an American light, open, horse-drawn vehicle with four large wheels.[1] Similar to a buggy, the runabout was used for informal, utilitarian travel or "running about" on errands.{{Sfn|Haajanen|2003|p=115}} One type was also called a "driving wagon", made very light in order to be easily hitched by one person, and easily pulled over long distances by a single horse.[2] A typical example was the light buggy used in the 1890s for daily duties by senior staff of the San Francisco Fire Department.[3] Runabouts could be either fancy or plain, but not encumbered with fenders, heavy tops or optional accessories that added weight.[2] Notes and references1. ^{{cite book |last= Haajanen|first= Lennart W.|others= Illustrations by Bertil Nydén|year= 2003|title= Illustrated Dictionary of Automobile Body Styles|page= 115|location= Jefferson, NC USA|publisher= McFarland|isbn= 0-7864-1276-3|lccn= 2002014546|ref= harv}} {{vehicle-stub}}2. ^1 The Carriage Museum at Historic Washington, Kentucky.
