No clue what that is Marius, it will not load from here. Root DNS BGP overflow? But there is a decent discussion and IIRC some tables in The Machinists Handbook, a nice little 1000 + page tome that can be had for less than $100 USD. The only more useful book I have covers electronics theory well but is now dated by the invention of the transistor, the old ITT number 5.
