British American Oil Co., Ltd. (1913-1/1960)
Canadian General Transit Co. (4/1960-1/1961)

Background

British American Oil Co. offices were located in Toronto, ON, and this company was one of the older Canadian private car owners. From 10/1928 through 1/1961 FOKX reporting marks were also used for the Fidelity Oil Co. By 7/1946, Union Oil Co. of Canada cars were added to the BAOX fleet, but not relettered? In 4/1960 their cars were transferred to CGTX listings and quickly renumbered to CGTX numbers (apparently in 2xxx series), with both BAOX and FOKX reporting marks being eliminated in 4/1961. Early ORERs are unhelpful in terms of exact grouping, and groupings of cars numbered lower than 500 are somewhat uncertain.

Data has been taken from the following ORERs (MM/YY): 5/1913-5/1915, 7/1916-1/1917, 6/1917-2/1918, 4/1919-5/1920, 8/1920, 1/1921, 7/1921-2/1923, 5/1923-1/1927, 3/1927-8/1928, 10/1928-8/1929, 10/1929-10/1956 & 4/1957-1/1961.
