Apologies GUT,
Just got what you were asking.
The Met employed their own Photographers early 1901. They initially had two cameras.
In July of the same year the Fingerprint team was set up, and they were allocated two cameras. So the overall Yard allocation doubled within months.
As I said, as photography became a valued evidence gathering tool, more were purchased or, if required, hired.
