motor vehicle, the design and production of its superstructure in Hungary, and furthermore the initiative role of the vehicle at the Hungarian mail service. The motor vehicle got into the Transport Museum after having ridden out the storm of history. Its renewal has been carried out by the Automobil Repair Company 1. The 100-year old vehicle can be brought into a good working order after a proper service. János Hidvégi: In the paper "The Motor Vehicle Built According To János Csonka's Design For Carrying Postal Parcels" it can be red that the post applied motor vehicles already in 1900 for collecting letters. Among the motor vehicles it can be found the collecting motor vehicle designed by János Csonka, too. Csonka's vehicle rendered service for the post for 25 years and during this time it covered 500 000 km. The motor vehicle became the property of the Transport Museum after World War U. After introducing the construction, the Author reports about the difficulties and tasks in connection with the restauration of the vehicle, mentioning that on the basis of the wear of the main components (cylinders, pistons, etc) the vehicle can be regarded as suitable for service even today. Attila Szabó: "The Aircraft Lloyd Of The Transport Museum built in Aszód And Its Restoration". The biplane built in Aszód, in 1914 is one of the most valuable pieces of the collection of aviation history of the Transport Museum. The first Hungarian aircraft produced under industrial circumstances achieved in 1914 a world record of 6170 m hight with one passenger, and 5400 m hight with two passengers. The aircraft took its share in the fights of the Great War in the theatre of operations in the south. Two years later it was returned with slight demages into the factory. The management of the factory offered the Hungarian Royal Transport Museum the aircraft for preservation and demonstration. The management of the Museum expressed its thanks to the factory for the valuable gift by a letter dated 1st May, 1917. The aircraft had been suspended in the longitudinal hall of the Museum and was demonstrated on this way. The aircraft was demonstrated in the Military Aircraft Show in the Hall of Industry (today PetöfiHall) in 1917, too. The valuable machine stood storms of bombardments of the 2nd World War. The first renewal of the aircraft was supported by MALÉV in 1959. The aircraft was transfered in 1985 to the Permanent Exhibition Of Aviation History And Astronautics. In October, 1991 a memorandum was made which proposed the unavoidable restoration of the aircraft being exhibited without repair or renewal for several decades. The Museum requested AVIBO Ltd established by specialists of the Aircraft Faculty of the Secondary Technical School in Csepel - to carry out the work, which was commenced already in 1994. The Author reports in detail on the steps of the restoration. The machine had been taken over technically by the end of 1996 in the same condition as in 1917 and was exhibited on its final place in the Petőfi Hall. Mrs. Kóczián, Dr.Erzsébet Szentpéteri: "The Renowal Of The Hackney Cab No 12." The cab mentioned in the title has been acquired by the Museum in 1972. The prehistory of the vehicle ascribed to the first third of the 20th century in respect of its building could not be cleared-up, but the characteristics of the vehicle support with great probability that one of the lastly built and used hackney cabs has been found. The restauration of the vehicle was justified by the following facts: no more attested and numbered exemplares of its category has been preserved, we should be able to demonstrate an attested hackney cab during the planned modification of the exhibition of urban traffic, and finally, the further deterioration of the vehicle has to be stopped. The Author lists in his paper the special tasks, which had been completed within five months. Following that, the vehicle was taken over in technical respect and then exhibited. József Soltész: "Reconstruction Of The Steam Locomotive No. 424,001". The Author outlines in his writing the supremely lucky event of the museum history, i.e. a country finds the prototyp of one of the most significant locomotives of its railway history at the railway of an other country after 50 years and gets this prototype back by way of barter. The locomotive building in Hungary has a significant tradition, since the first steam locomotive was 443
