branches in it and they form a separate division within the picture-gallery. The author gives a review of the collecting activities since 1967. She outlines some special features and the tasks of processing. Part II. contains methodological and transport historical studies forming the backbone of the yearbook's material. Mrs. Kóczián dr. Erzsébet Szentpéteri summarizes and analyses the exhibition work of the Transport Museum in 1966-1984. She deals with the changes of the number of permanent and periodical exhibitions, with their distribution by theme, and she evaluates them according to their contents and to the methods of presentation. Dr. István Jasinszky writes up a basic part of the Museum's educational programs in his work titled "The Relations of School and Museum According to the Transport Museum's Experience"

. Among others he mentions the Museum's new tasks brought about by the introduction of the new subject "Tehnics" to school the problems of practical programs, group visits, guided tour sand supplementary presentation devices too. In addition to these he presents the experiences obtained in some foreign countries. Mrs. dr. István Dienes wrote up the life of Ottó Ferenc Hieronymi ( 1803-1850) the famous engineer of the Reform Period chiefly on the basis of documents kept in the Museum's Archives. In our historiography this is the first attempt to give a complete picture of the life of the Pozsony-Nagyszombat horse-drawn railway's designer and builder who also created numerous other engineering objects, of his slander after the War of Independence and of his early death. István Tisza's treatise "The Investigations of Lajos Rohonyi on the History of MÁV Szeged Directorship''' is based on the bequest kept in the Museum. Though the writing up of all the notes is not completed yet, the most important findings are already forwarded in this study. This research material gives precious additions to the history of MÁV Szeged Directorship's lines, organization and operations. Máramaros was a county of Historical Hungary bordering Galiciaand Bukovina. Its railway served both its salt-mines and strategic purposes caused by its geographical position. Jolán Barkóczi treats the plans related to it, the debates on them, with all their very characteristic last century railway construction details in her paper "The Plans of the Máramaros Railway" — based on Hungarian and foreign sources. The stone-quarry of Sóskút in county Fejér had an important share in the construction of Budapest's most famous buildings. The quarry was linked with the mainline station of Tárnok by a horsedrawn railway; this was opened in 1870 and it ceased to operate after the First World War. Dr. János Kovács introduces the history of this railway using the data still in existence in his study "Some Additions to the History of the Horse-drawn Railway ofTárnok-Sóskút". The centenary of the Hungarian capital's largest railway-station was celebrated in 1984. Mariann Koltai supplies some new data by publishing less well-known details in her work "Data to the History of the One-Hundred Years Old Budapest-East Railway Station". The Baross traffic plant played an important role in the development of Budapest's tramway system. It was the first organization of its kind and it was brought into being in several phases in the last decade of the last century. Dr. Ágnes Medveczki wrote up its history in her study from the very beginnings to the present day. Dr. László Eperjesi proves in his study "About the Foundation of the First Pre-Organization of the Transport Worker''

s Trade Union" that though its year of foundation is traditionally 1898, in fact it came into being as early as 1894, when goods-transport car drivers and transport workers had founded its pre-organization. The paper presents the story of this early organization. Pál Rév\ study "Wittmann Viktor (1889-1915)" is based on the very few data available and introduces the life of this famous sports flyer, the technical director and test-pilot of the Hungarian Airplane Co. He was the first engineer to direct professional aircraft production in Hungary. There are very few data of motor-vehicle transportation in Hungary in the period of the bourgeois democratic revolution and the Republic of Soviets. Dr. László Eperjesi searched out and analysed 684
