xvi, 334pp, with tables and diagrams throughout. Red cloth-covered boards, gilt lettering front and spine. 4to. Cloth a little rubbed and rounded on corners and spine ends, slightly faded over spine. Endpapers lightly tanned. Upper text block edge dust darkened. Slight wobble to front panel.

A densely packed, no-nonsense and highly practical vintage handbook for engineers and scientists working during the height of the second world war industrial boom in the US. In his preface Hoyt quotes author Muriel Rukeyser who said of her biography of physicist Willard Gibbs: “One of the reasons that I wrote this book was that I needed to read it.” A metallurgist by trade, Hoyt became frustrated with sifting through descriptive textbooks and dense narratives to find specific figures. He designed the the Metals and Alloys Data Book to strip away conversational or theoretical text entirely, focusing exclusively on raw data, critical tables, and precise engineering metrics.
