The original was in LaTeX, so I just hacked a Plain TeX solution into it :

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,article,twoside,onecolumn,openany]{memoir}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{pifont}

\setlrmarginsandblock{1.5in}{0.8in}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{.5in}{1in}{*}
\checkandfixthelayout{}
\tightlists
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}

\texttt{\begin{large}
\noindent\textbf{No. R.14.\\
5-inch Heliograph.\\
Marks III*, IV, V. Spare Parts.}
\end{large}}

\begin{tabular}{c c}\toprule[.1em]
   \multicolumn{2}{c}{In Spare Mirrors Box.}\\\hline
   \multicolumn{2}{l}{Mirror, duplex \leaders \hbox {... }\hskip 3 in\ 1} \\
   \multicolumn{2}{l}{Mirror, signalling \leaders \hbox {... }\hfill\ 1} \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}

** Phil.
