    Apologies - I thought with the frequency of requests from folks asking to look up their serial number the SRS books were common knowledge. There are 4 volumes. Here is a very good description of what they are, where they came from, etc.

    In a sentence or two, some people (see the link above for who) spent years combing through national archives and/or other document sources, and whenever they saw a serial number they made note and summarized its source in tables. The 4 volumes, long out of print, fetch very hefty prices on fleabay. I just happened to finally acquire all 4 volumes this year this a very nice guy at an even nicer price.
