Yep, must old film camera have a chart on back with that info, my first 35mm camera is a Yashica MG1 did not have a light meter. It has icons next to the f-stop on the lens. But it has f11 as sunny.

PS: Got it for Christmas went I eleven or twelve. It’s the only gift. I got as a kid that I still have.

This is just a re-hash of the Kodak exposure guide, which Kodak has been publishing for over 50 years.

Simple rule, set your aperture to 16 and shoot the shutter speed the same or as close to the film ASA.

It works I have shoot older cameras like that and it always gives accurate or very close to accurate exposures.
