johnm Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I remember using it when I was young - am I right that it had a tape measure attached at the top corner & the identifaction of all places was given by putting the tape along a letter on the edge & finding the place by a certain length along the tape?. A great idea I thought and maybe the technique should still used today. Unfortunately I don't have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, I hope you can work out how to use it from my post. Does it say what date it is? May be quite useful for old roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be quite useful for old roads Hi John, on the the cover it is dated as 1969 - 1970 however there is a small revision map included (dated Nov 1968.) that refers to one of the City center pages; 'Since the the map was revised, Arundel Gate has been opened up to provide a through way between High St and Matilda St' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
