The paper of Pál Rév: "The monument of the Hungarian Aviation" gives account of the initiatives which led to the establishment of the monument and the realization of it. "The two Decades of the International Association of Transport Museums (1968—1987)" is the title of the study of Kócziánné Dr. Erzsébet Szentpéteri, which summerizes the activity of that Association, to which belongs the Budapest Transport Museum too, as a founder member. The author gives a report of the meetings held in Budapest: of that of 1969 and 1987, the general assembly and conference as well as the presidental session 1984. The authors of the Part III. of the year book — generally in shorter notices — introduce some famous as well as valuable objects of the Museum with their transport historical and museological background. These objects were not presented in earlier volumes. The authority document of the Pest-Buda connecting railway planned in 1865, is a really transport historical fame. Though the railway — in this form — had not been realized, but their content and shape is a true witness of the age (Dr. Istvánné Dienes). The "First school-book of the home railway branch" course is treatised in the paper; which is a famous object of the library of the Museum. The book presents the railway of the 1870th years. The author introduce not only the content of the book, but the criticism delt with it in his age (Jolán Barkóczi). An outstanding personality of the hungarian steam engine construction was in the last century Zsigmond Kordina. His life and work was little mentioned by the branch literary. This assembly embraces the documents preserved in the Museum (Dr. János Kovács). An original urban transport vehicle of the Museum is the tramcar from Szeged, with the truck number Nr. 34. It represents well the level of the tramway car construction of the age and is exhibited in the new wing of the Museum, opened in 1987 (Kovácsyné Dr. Ágnes Medveczki). The Budapest

—Újpest—Rákospalotai Villamos Közúti Vasút (Budapest—Újpest—Rákospalota Electric Tramway) played an important role in the history of the capital transport. The first (truck number Nr. 300) tramcar of this railway was built by the Ganz and Co. Railway Car Factory in 1895. One can see it today in the new wing of the Museum opened in 1987 (Kovácsyné Dr. Agnes Medveczki). 693
