Notes:
p.[ix] Part I describes in general terms what was done, where,
how and who did it. Particular emphasis has been given to those who
were responsible for setting the standards that became so universally
accepted and respected, together with an assessment of the
Establishment’s influence. ... Part II is based almost
exclusively on such of the Establishment’s own reports that
survive - fortunately some 75 per cent.
