A single page contained several hundred words. Everyone was certain that this was an alloy material they had never seen before, and the way it was documented was utterly novel. Although they did not know what some of the listed properties were useful for, there was no denying that this little page dissected the alloy almost exhaustively.

Nonmetal materials, entry 47: concrete. Composite material. Illustrated compendium Properties... Applications: forms a slurry when mixed with water.
