Excerpt from The Metallurgists and Chemists Handbook: A Reference Book of Tables and Data for the Student and Metallurgist
In preparing the second edition of the "Metallurgists and Chemists' Handbook" there has been no change from the plan originally adopted, and the additions, in the main, have been largely those bearing on war activities, such as additional information on alloys and toxic gases. Unfortunately much that I should like to print on these subjects is at present forbidden ground. A short chapter has also been added on "Organic Chemistry," and an attempt made to present the new concepts concerning the constitution of matter.
Thanks are due to the many friends who have pointed out the defects of the first edition. Among these I feel most indebted to Dr. Colin G. Fink for notes on the constants of tungsten; B. A. Robinson for a careful review of practically the entire book; and Dr. Robert B. Sosman for notes on the carbonates and silicates.
