I still have my laminated Smith Chart that you can draw on with grease pencil
or erasable marker. I also have a copy of Smith's book, bought from Smith
himself.
With that, my Dietzgen slide rule, my grid dip meter, and my copies of "Radio
Engineering" and "Radio Engineer's Handbook" by Terman I am ready for The Big
One.
My copy of "Electronic Applications of the Smith Chart" is from the re-publisher Krieger (they're in town, so it was new, but "damaged" surplus), my Terman is third edition, and my Smith charts are an inch thick stack of paper blanks (the red and green version) from when the company I was working for was going to throw them in the dumpster. My slide rule is a version made by Collins Radio Company that I picked up at a hamfest maybe 20 years before I went to work for them.
