A Fizikai épület - The Physics Building Kalmár Miklós

86 was built next to the building, which, according to the first concepts, was to supply energy to the city as well. However, the building and its equipment used too much electric energy, and the plant could not meet the needs of the F Building either. The departments had their own diesel-powered generators to provide the energy they still lacked. Gas was supplied to the building by the Budapest Gas Company. The internal floor coverings were selected in line with contemporary tastes. The wooden cubic floor covering and the dust-proof water-tight "Legnolith" system asbestos required both expertise and precise work. The windows were ready by July, this time by the com­pany of Zsigmond Kovács and Rezső Mütter, as the work of the joiners hired for the Ch Building left much to be desired. Interior works were completed by the end ofthat summer. In September, 1906 the permit to put the building in use was issued, although minor works were stitt going on. By the beginning of the new academic year the buitd­ing coutd be taken into possession. Masters typicalty hired for the construction of the Ch Building were commissioned with this project. The ceilings and stepped concrete floors of the "electro­technical and physical pavilion" were made by János Biehn, carpentery by Ferenc Brunner, lapidary and marble works by Béta Seenger, painting and decora­tion by József Kurbel, ironworks were supplied by the Budapest Pump and Engine Works, elevators by Róbert Fröhlich, electric bells by Szalai and Deutsch Co., cork­­stone thermal insulation by dr. Tivadar Heidlberg, roof­ing by Károly Tomschay, oak flooring by the United Hungarian Parquet Factories. Stoneworks do credit to György Schaffer and György Weisinger stone-cutters. Lukács and Meitner Co. made the "Legnolith" asbestos floor, heating and ventilation was supplied by Károly Knuth. Electric works by the Ganz factory, the electric wires of the desks forthe Department of Electrotech­nics by Blau and Lukács Co., metalworks by Kálmán Berkes, sign-posts by Ármin and Ferenc Steiner. Stoves were made by Manó Zwillinger, curtains by Paschka and Co., whilst tinwork by Imre Tóth and Co. The fore­man of construction, masonry and earthworks were Li pót Havet again. Illustrative of the technical standards of equipment, modern elevators were installed: just like the Ch Build­ing, the F Building also received Anton Freisster's electric drive lifts. Each of the three departments housed here had their own elevator contained near the audi­toriums. Although the construction of the lifts was started rather late, at the beginning of the summer in A FÖLÉPCSŐHÁZ | THE MAIN STAIRCASE
