As the shafts are jointed, the chariot can be steered by turning the lead horses to the right or left.Automata of this type are in character with those made by James Cox, and, while the workmanship of this piece is from a different hand, its accomplished style is quite compatible with that of Cox's automaton of 1766 (see 1982.60.137). A variant model of this automaton was formerly in the Foy collection (sold at Parke-Bernet, New York, May 22-23, 1959, lot 645) and included, in place of the military trophy resting on the seat of the chariot, a watch signed by the London watchmaker James Upjohn (working 1760-ca. 1779).
