(Pole Erection Unit Vehicle)On a beautiful Saturday morning, all participants are lined up outside the Guildhall Yard, on London Wall, and enter through the Guildhall Arch; this is where the traditional marking ceremony takes place and where each vehicleisintroducedbythecommentatorwithabriefinsightintoits history. The Sheri, Master Carman, his two Wardens and the Master Glover are dressed in traditional robes and brand each vehicle with a red-hot iron on the Carmans wooden licensing board, displaying the year letter and cart number. This ritual is known as Cart Marking.Cart owners had to pay for their licence, which allowed trade for standing and plying for hire in the City of London for the forthcoming year; a new mark needed to be branded annually to allow the trade to continue. This was the earliest form of vehicle licensing. In 1838, an earlier legislation was repealed, empowering the Keeper of Guildhall to mark carts for an annual fee of ve shillingsequal to 25p today. Five shillings is still paid to the City of London for each vehicle that passes through Guildhall Arch today. The Networker Autumn 2023 21.'
