Standard peripherals include two-way radios and taximeters, both of which predate computer assisted dispatching. In 1890, Halda also began to produce typewriters and taximeters. The company, founded in 1921, originally manufactured watches, telephone timers and taximeters. The cars were fitted with taximeters. Weiller manufactured "taximeters" to measure mileage and founded the first automobile cab company in Paris. Apart from these two companies, very few drivers use taximeters. Taximeters can include several accessories, or act as components in larger dispatching/control systems. Taximeters were originally mechanical and mounted outside the cab, above the driver's side front wheel.
