The pieces are arranged in numerical order by departmental file number. The inclusion of a date before a file number, as in QPE (1962) 5/4/1 indicates that the year in which the file was created was included in the file reference number. Thus the full departmental reference of a file listed as QPE (1962) 5/4/1 would be QPE/62 5/4/1.
