[Note the large images are only available on CD_Rom]
Note the 1:2500 sheets are numbered as a 4x4 subsheets of a 6"/1m sheet numbered from 1(top NW corner) to 16(bottom SE corner) - each sheet is 36" by 24" which thus covers 7500ft x 5000 ft.
The 6" sheets are not the same size or coverage as modern 6" sheets - neither are they on the same projection as current O/S maps (and obviously do not show the post WW2 Grid refs which are based on km squares - however the errors caused by projection changes are not significant over the coverage of a sheet.
My own collection of sheets is not complete (I have about 60% of all sheets) and is derived from various sources - I have XV.8 + XV16 + the other 8 plans in XVI (to be added)
