Arrangement
The papers in this series are arranged in numerical order by departmental file number, the sequence repeating for successive transfers. The inclusion of a date preceding a file number (as in LIQ (1960) 1/8/36) 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 LIQ (1960) 1/8/36 would be LIQ/60 1/8/36.
