Arrangement
The papers in this series are arranged in numerical order by departmental file number. The inclusion of a date preceding a file number (as in RYL (1963) 10/2/2) 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 RYL (1963) 10/2/2 would be RYL/63 10/2/2.
