My copy is a black and white photocopy of copy 204 which resides at TNA. A circulation note dated April 15th, 1918 indicates that this version supersedes previous tables for all guns 9.2-inch and larger with a few specific exceptions and that no howitzer or bomb-thrower tables are superseded.
The format of the book is quite large.
By their very nature, range tables are as interesting as phone books. The tables have many pages in them, as there is a lot of data to relate. Luckily, the table of contents which I excerpt here has page numbers for each table and enough particulars to precisely identify each ballistic combination so covered.
