Two young researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory in the early part of the twentieth century made a collection of physical data that was published and has been known for nearly 100 years not by its title but by their names, `Kaye and Laby'. A brief account of the careers of the authors is followed by discussion of the development of the Tables of physical and chemical constants.
