Gig (carriage)

A gig, also called chair or chaise, is a light, two-wheeled sprung cart pulled by one horse.
==Description==
Gigs travelling at night would normally carry two oil lamps with thick glass, known as gig-lamps. Gig carts are constructed with the driver's seat sitting higher than the level of the shafts. Traditionally, a gig is more formal than a village cart or a meadowbrook cart. A light gig can be used for carriage racing. OED gives the date of first known reference to a horse-drawn gig as 1791.
There are several types of gig, including:
* ''calesín'': small, one-horse, hooded, a seat behind for the driver, used in the Philippines; diminutive of Spanish ''calesa''
* ''stanhope'': typically having a high seat and closed back; named after Fitzroy Stanhope, a British clergyman who died in 1864.
* ''stick gig'': lightweight, two-wheeled, for one person
* ''Tilbury (carriage)'', lightweight, two-wheeled,
* ''whiskey'' or ''whisky'': small body that resembles a chair, suspended on leather braces attached to springs
