VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Samuel Fox & Co. Ltd. , promoting their expertise in aircraft engineering with a focus on alloy steel, which they refer to as "ALLOY STEEL 'FACTS'". The ad features an illustration of a biplane soaring through the sky, emphasizing the application of their steel products in aviation. The text suggests that choosing the right alloy steels can lead to utmost profit and highlights that detailed technical information can be found in their "Stocksbridge" Catalogue of Alloy Steel Data. It lists some specifications given for each steel: Composition, specifications filled, uses, relative price, heat treatment and physical tests effects of mass. There's also mention of newly discovered alloys which offer specific benefits during when considered against the older established costs. The company is identified as part of The United Steel Companies Ltd. , based in Stocksbridge Sheffield. This advertisement likely dates back to an era when advancements in materials science were critical for progress in aircraft design and manufacturing—possibly around the early-to-mid 20th century given the style of both the plane depicted and typography used.
