This thorough treatment (1919) of Antimony by Chung Yu Wang in Europe, nails
down the heat of phase change at "20 to 21 calories" (if I interpret it correctly).
This is in conflict with G. Gore's 1858 data where someone must have slipped
up on his "19.6 Calorie" figure. This apparent error is parroted in a General Chemistry
text: Nebergall - Schmitt, Indiana University, CopyRight 1959, by D.C. Heath and Company
that claimed "19,600 calories per gram" in the Explosive Antimony transition.
My 1960s set of McGraw-Hill, Encyclopedia of Science and Technology also
state 20 calories per gram for the "Allotrope" transition.
This pdf is 225 pages long, and well worth the read, It only took
my system (28.8 kbps & 400MHz processor) about an hour to bring it all up.
Jones the "Tin Man" Beene can do this while he is getting oiled,
before confronting the Wizard of Alaska hiding behind that curtain. :-)
