This is a small handbook packed with great reference material I've not seen before. My copy is a complete 300DPI scan of an original copy held by Dave Carson from the UK. He was also able to provide me with a scanned copy of Gunnery Drill Book for HM Fleet (Book II) 1918, which covers the hand-worked mountings. Many thanks, Dave!

It would be nice to see a later year's edition, to learn about the 15" and 18" gun mountings.
