With these means the
exclusively of railway maps, guides and time tables.
compiling of various journeys with times and connections requires usually much
time and patience.
This invention consists of a combined map and time table map as illustrated by
the accompanying drawing in which all lines and connections can be seen in one
comprehensive view.
Such a map has the appearance of a railway map but unlike the latter all trains
are marked on the same but except the names of the towns all other indications for
towns rivers mountains etc. are preferably left out.
The separate railway lines are shown as bands divided in as many parallel strips
as there are trains running to and fro. The separate bands are divided into.
sections by cross lines, said sections bearing the names of the respective stations.
Thus each parallel strip is divided into sections. Each strip indicates a
running train it shows at each station or stopping place the time of arrival or
departure.
Different kinds of trains may be distinguished by different coloured strips or
printing. Termini are shown by black squares and arrows may be placed on both
sides of the line to indicate the directions in which the trains run.
Along the centre of each band a strip divided by darker or heavier lines may
indicate the distance. The accompanying drawing shows as an example a part of
the Budapest & Vienna Railroad from Pressburg to Gran-Naua with the adjoining

An Improved Map Time Table for Railroads or Steamboat Routes
and other means of Public Conveyance.
We JOSEF SZABO of Budapest, Manufacturer, and ADOLF DEUTSCH of
Czegléd Manufacturer both in the Kingdom of Hungary do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The means for ascertaining the departure arrival and connection of trains,
steam-boats and other public conveyances for journeys consisted heretofore
exclusively of railway maps, guides and time tables. With these means the
compiling of various journeys with times and connections requires usually much
time and patience.
This invention consists of a combined map and time-table map as illustrated in
the drawings filed with the Provisional Specification in which all lines and
connections can be seen in one comprehensive view.

page_text: Such a map has the appearance of a railway map but unlike the latter all trains

The separate railway lines are shown as bands divided in as many parallel strips
as there are trains running to or fro. The separate bands are divided into
sections by cross lines, said sections bearing the names of the respective stations.
Thus each parallel strip is divided into sections. Each strip indicates a

Railroad from Pressburg to Gran Naua with the adjoining lines thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :
A route map giving indications of the times of arrival or departure of trains,
boats or public conveyances of said route each route being represented by a band
following substantially the line of the route and divided into parallel strips the
times being indicated in said strip one strip for each train boat or, conveyance
substantially as set forth.
