Date: 1939-1990
Arrangement:

The papers in this series are arranged by file reference number within each symbol series, and the series are arranged in alphabetical order. The inclusion of a date preceding a file number (as in CDA (1960) 3/2/7) 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 CDA (1960) 3/2/7 would be CDA/60 3/2/7.
