The crosstable in the bulletin is incomplete, not giving the individual scores of players who scored 2½, and no information at all about those who scored 2 or fewer (marked as <=2 in the above crosstable). There were probably 44 players, three of whom are not identifiable from the games recorded in the bulletin.
Contemporary BCF grades as given in the bulletin. For the PGN file I have converted these to four-figure Elo ratings using the then current conversion formula Elo = (BCF x 8) + 600.
1 The total shown in the bulletin is 3 but the points only add up to 2½
