In the further part of his study the Author offers a survey of the collection, amount, arrangement and elaboration of the archive of technical drawings. The drawings and documentations had been assinged to six collection groups, which have to be treated, elaborated and stored independent from each other in interest to facilitate the work of the researchers. During the elaboration the new arrangement of the material arranged previously became necessary in interest of the recording by computer. Gábor Balogh: The Archives Of Maps Of The Transport Museum. The branch of science connected functionally with the transport science is the transport geography, which can be illustrated by maps. The archive of maps includes general geographical maps, too, but the task of the Transport Museum is in the first place the collecting, elaboration and systematization of transport maps. The Museum collects maps since its establishment, which are always independent exhibits of the exhibitions and can be found in the year-books and catalogues, too. An example of this may be the catalogue of the Museum of the year 1910, which demonstrated 128 maps. Thanks to the procurements and donations, now there are approximately 5000-5200 maps in the collection of the Museum under the registry number 3912. At the end of the 1990s became possible the procurement and installation of modern cupboards with sliding drawers, which enabled the up-to-date grouping and storing according to professional point of view. The modern cupboards serve not only for the increase of the storing capacity, but - by storing the maps protected by foil in hard covers - for the preservation of condition. The Author reports in the further part of his study on the fact that a separate collection group has been established from maps of special value, which have been made till 1900 being regarded as historical documents. Following that the Author introduces the systematization of the maps according to the transport sub-branches and within them to the cartographical conceptual groups and their main constituents and furthermore he informs about the computer supported elaboration. Jenő Cselényi: The Significance And Increase Of The Arranged, Inventorized Collection Of The Archive Of Railway Drawings. One of the most significant collections of the archive of technical drawings of the Transport Museum is the collection of railway drawings, which contains according to some assessments more than 100.000 pieces. Before the 1990s there was only a litle interest - even on the part of experts - in the technical drawings, accordingly the number of the arranged, inventorized and for research purposes properly stored drawings was small. In the recent decade the striving for preservation and renewal of railway vehicles being on the brink of ruin, but representing a museal value has increased, requiring the original drawings stored by the Transport Museum. The claim to the drawings on the side of the experts of the repair shops made necessary the up-to-date elaboration of the recording system by help of computer. From 1998 till 2002 the arrangement, inventorization, packing, labeling, restoring and storing of 29923 technical drawings of 53 railway vehicles have been carried out. As an example the Author attaches to his study the inventory of the drawings of a given vehicle, which facilitates the researches, and furthermore the statement about the technical drawings arranged and inventorized till the given date. Jenő Cselényi: The History Of Development Of The Electric Locomotives Of The Kando System (With Phase Converter) And Their Drawing Collection In The Archive. The year 2002 is a significant anniversary in the history of the railway electrification in Hungary and Europe. Kálmán Kandó built at the end of the 1800s the first three-phase driven electric tramway. On the bases of experiences gained by this tramway he had constructed his first normal-gauge a.c. electric locomotive and between 1898 and 1902 he built in Italy the Valtellina railway. That was the beginning of the high-voltage electric traction on normal-gauge in Italy. In Hungary the first four Kando type electric locomotives commenced their type-tests 30 years later, in June 1932 on the first electrified Budapest-Komárom line applying 16 KV, 50 Hz and one-phase feeding. MÁV signed the contract for the supply of the series locomotives with the works MÁV AG and Ganz 3 months after the death of Kandó, in April 1931. 397
