Smithsonian Physical Tables is a monumental and comprehensive reference work compiled by Frederick E. Fowle, designed to serve as an authoritative source of empirical data for scientists, engineers, and researchers. This extensive collection provides a vast array of standardized physical constants and measurements, spanning a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry including physics, chemistry, and meteorology. The volume includes meticulously organized tables on the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, as well as essential mathematical functions, geodetic data, and observations on terrestrial magnetism.

Compiled under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, this work reflects the rigorous empirical standards of early 20th-century science. Within its pages, readers will find detailed data regarding atomic weights, thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, refractive indices, and various spectroscopic constants. The structure of the work is intended to facilitate rapid access to precise information that was foundational to the scientific advancements of the era. As a significant historical document in the field of metrology, Smithsonian Physical Tables offers a window into the state of physical knowledge in the 1920s and remains a testament to the enduring importance of standardized data in the pursuit of scientific truth.
