  Great Britain road numbering scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The numbers of the roads changed quite frequently during the early years of the system as it was a period of heavy expansion of the network and some numbered routes did not follow the most usual routes taken.
Shorter motorways typically take their numbers from a parent motorway in violation of the zone system, explaining the apparently anomalous numbers of the M48 and M49 motorways as spurs of the M4, and M271 and M275 motorways as those of the M27.
Fictional numbers are assigned for use on TV and film; such a number that is involved with a serious fictional accident is fllisted for five years from actual use.

This was a license-built copy of the British Ferranti[?] GGS Mark IID computing gyro sight, which allowed a pilot to dial in target wingspan and range, and would then tell the pilot when he had a good shot at the target.

 British / American
British houses simply do not have such things, the nearest equivalents are "patio" meaning an unroofed area adjacent to a building paved with slabs, "verandah" a covered and glassed walkway along the side of a building and "conservatory" a room-like extension entirely walled and roofed in glass.
British usage reserves "gas" to mean an inflammable gas such as methane or carbon monoxide piped to domestic and industrial premises as a fuel.
British houses are usually numbered serially starting from one end of a road or street with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other side, however it is not uncommon to find them numbered sequentially up one side of the road and down the other.

 CBRD - British Roads FAQ
A-roads are the other major routes; they vary from motorway-standard to narrow local roads, and have 1, 2, 3 or 4-digit numbers prefixed with 'A'.
Numbering for these roads is based on nine zones which cover the mainland of Britain, numbered 1 to 9.
All the roads that start in a given zone take the first digit of their route number from the number of the zone (so roads in the 5-zone include A511, B5203, etc).

 Chapter III: The Test -- World War I
The French and the British had found that for each unit on line-army corps, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, or company-they needed a comparable unit prepared to relieve it without mixing organizations from various commands.
Planners eliminated 1 infantry brigade and cut the number of infantry regiments from 9 to 4, thereby reducing the number of infantry battalions from 27 to 12.
Given the reduction in the number of infantry units, the proportion of artillery fire support per infantry regiment increased without altering the number of artillery regiments or pieces.

Other schemes were proposed, among them the command of a squadron of French ships under the American flag to cruise in the Baltic, but owing to the natural jealousy of French officers, and other causes, every plan fell through.
The situation of the squadron on the British coast was becoming dangerous, and yet before flight was possible a vast amount of work was to be done in repairing the injuries to the Serapis sufficiently to make her seaworthy.
With respect to these charges, twenty-five in number, and formally drawn up October 30, there was a practical unanimity of opinion among the officers of the squadron as to the reprehensible conduct of Landais during the cruise.

 Floodgap Roadgap -- Australian Highways (New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory)
All numbers in the National Route system (and thus National Highway system, more in a moment) are two-digit; although intended to be a grid system with odd numbers N-S and even numbers W-E, this went by the wayside rapidly and the numbers in use now do not in general reflect this rule.
In 1997, a meeting of state and federal ministers of transportation yielded a new uniform numbering system loosely modeled on the alphanumeric format used in Europe and the UK (see the Italy page for a few brief examples of the European highway network).
Great numbers of homes and buildings were destroyed; electrical power was unstable in many areas; hospitals were filling up with casualties (many overcome with smoke inhalation), and evacuation centres rapidly reached capacity with residents fleeing the flames.
