Searching jacket & front pages I finally found "Malmaterial und seine
Verwendung im Bilde," published 1921, up to a 5th edition, while his
pupils at the Doerner Institute published up to 8th edition (as of 1949).
The translator however avers that he has made "numerous corrections" of
errors called to his attention.

The jacket says that an appendix for those unfamiliar with the metric
system is included... I daresay Americans are as bad in metric today as in
'49.
