So, for example, code 210 stands for Area Organisation, and code 234 stands for Guided Projectiles Research and Development. This code may be found as part of the former reference in the right hand of the list. For example, the first piece in the list has the former reference 200/ALL/456. The code is 200 which stands for the subject Central Priority Department.
