A:Apr, A:Jul, B:Sep,
B:Dec, C:Jun, D:Feb,    Find the desired style and century at the top.
D:Mar, D:Nov, E:Aug,    Look in the column under the century to find the
F:May, G:Jan, G:Oct     Dominical letter corresponding to a particular
                        year (tabulated to the left and right).  Use that
 S  M  T  W  T  F  S    letter in normal years for all months and in leap
                   1    years for the months March through December, but
 2  3  4  5  6  7  8    back up one letter for January and February in
 9 10 11 12 13 14 15    leap years (corresponding to the dash preceding
16 17 18 19 20 21 22    the desired year).  Then find the calendar for
23 24 25 26 27 28 29    the desired month at the bottom (each is labeled
30 31                   with combinations of Dominical letter and month).
         For example, the table gives "B" for 1984, but use "A" for the
         first two months.  January 1 is a Sunday, May 1 is a Tuesday.
