Comment Photos (see link) show uniformed staff wearing the standard 'BET' 'Magnet and Wheel' cap badge, and they undoubtedly wore the standard 'BET' buttons as well.
BET actually took a controlling interest in the W&DET's predecessor - the Wrexham Tramways Company - in 1900, ahead of the horse tramway's closure in 1901, and subsequent rebuilding.
