Donnice,

The only issue we have received for MATERIALS ENGINEERING (December 1992)
is an unnumbered issue called, "Materials Selector".  There is a goodbye
message from the editor on page 1, which states that, "Materials Engineering
has discontinued publication as of its November issue."

Hope this is helpful.

Regarding Materials Engineering

We have a copy of the December 1992 issue.

It is a 8 1/2 X 11 glossy unlike the oversize newspaper edition the other
1992 monthly editions are.
The cover reads

December 1992                   A Penton Publication
MATERIALS
ENGINEERING

Applications in Design / Manufacturing R & D

Materials
Selector
1993

p
u
t

There is no volume numbering in the issue.
The running title has the December 1992 date on every page.

I *HOPE* this is what you are looking for.

The 12th issue is the 1993 Materials Selector issue which we did receive.
Hope that helps,
