Invention of the Smith Chart

Phillip Smith invented the Smith Chart in 1939 while he was working for The Bell Telephone Laboratories (although the Japanese engineer Kurakawa invented a similar device one year earlier). - When asked why he invented this chart, Smith explained: - :"From the time I could operate a slide rule, I've been interested in graphical representations of mathematical relationships."
