26 April, 2019 an unique exhibit from the museum’s funds was held as part of the project «Exhibit of the Month» in the museum of Temirtau city.
The handle of the KTM-1 tram driver's hand controller was introduced. The KTM-1 trams, or as the citizens called them “Cheburashka” along the first tram route “Industrial Base - Sotsgorod”, delivered the workers to the construction site of the Karaganda Metallurgical Factory.
KTM-1 was controlled with the help of the handle presented in the exposition, which was mounted on the controller and, by moving it horizontally left and right, provided current access and movement of the tram.
Girls prepared on special courses in Karaganda were drivers of the first trams.
The exhibition also presents quicker tickets for travel on a tram, issued in 1989 and 2010.
The handle of the KTM-1 tram driver's hand controller was transferred to the museum by veterans of the Temirtau tram park.
