Thankyou both (Torsten Haakansson of Sweden and Mike Shand of Scotland) for
confirming, within a minute of each other, identification. Now if anyone
happens to come across a duplicate, or cheapish second-hand, copy of the
complete atlas we shall be quite interested in acquiring same. Reward: a
copy of plate 9 'Rainfall probability'.
