Mike P sent in his comments:

"After reading the little piece about what does "moderate
oven" mean, I was reminded why I refuse to part with my first ever
cookery book (Cordon Bleu)!  Apart from the recipes, information on obscure
vegetables and cuts of meat, it has a little table in the back that
converts oven temperatures from text ("moderate") to Centigrade,
Fahrenheit (obsolete, except in the USA) and Gas Marks (obsolete
everywhere, but useful for old recipes!)

My mother always hoarded a "Dairy Diary" from about 30 years ago
for similar reasons (As well as oven temperatures, it explained all those
odd symbols on the care labels in cloths - who can remember the difference
between a circle with a cross over it and a circle in a square with a cross
over it?!  The Dairy Diary was sold by the door-to-door milkman evry
autumn."
