1946, 1950-51.In most cases there are ballot registers and result sheets filed together, with related correspondence attached. Ballot registers show in alphabetical order the full name of each participant, together with address and number in the ballot. Details of time and place of drawing, number of licences to be issued and contingencies drawn and the area in which vehicles may operate are shown and the register is signed by an officer of the department to certify its correctness. The successful participants and those drawn as contingencies are shown on the result sheets. Attached correspondence and annotations on the registers and result sheets indicate whether successful applicants were able to take up their licences and give some information about police and departmental checks on the suitability of applicants.
