A series of Technical Instructions called Apparatus in Code Order contain information that is similar to that found in DDHBs, but they were produced by BBC Technical Publications unit and intended for a wider readership in the Operation and Maintenance departments.  This is the largest collection of information on coded equipment that is published on BBCeng and some DDTM/DDHB documents are included.
