NRS-16350 | Register of Equipment and Plant

This series was created by the Engineer for Water Supplies and locomotive depots. The purpose of the series was to record equipment and plant for water supply at depots and stations throughout New South Wales. A page or more is dedicated to each place. The original entries in the series are dated at the top of the page, but this practice was not maintained consistently. Each page is divided in two columns showing the type of equipment in the left hand column and full details concerning the item in the right. Equipment includes the columns, reservoirs, tanks and meters. Withdrawn equipment was crossed through. There is an alphabetical index of the stations or other locations at the front of the register.Custody History From 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R209. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R209 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

本系列由供水及机车段工程师创建。该系列旨在记录新南威尔士州各地车站及段场的供水设备与设施。每个地点占据一页或多页内容。系列中的原始记录最初在页面顶部标注日期，但该做法未持续保持。每页分为两栏：左栏列示设备类型，右栏详述该设备的完整信息。设备类型包括供水柱、水库、水箱及仪表。已淘汰的设备会被划掉。登记簿前部附有按字母顺序排列的车站及其他地点索引。

保管历史
1955年至2000年，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有“内部档案库”，收藏该局、其前身机构及被政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录。记录的日期范围为1849年至2000年。当决定关闭“州铁路档案馆”时，馆藏中需作为州档案保存的部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。这些记录系列被纳入州档案管理局的档案控制系列系统，并重新编号。本系列原属州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时编号为R209系列。它可能曾在州铁路档案馆中以R209系列被查阅，且研究人员在州铁路档案馆的笔记、出版物或未发表作品中可能曾如此引用。
