@ClaraListensprechen@universeodon.com @Ralph058 @SrRochardBunson @sergio_101 Cool! I wish I still had my old Allied and Newark catalogs.

Through the mid-60s in my teens, those and the "Rubber Handbook" (The CRC) were my bathroom reading continuously. I learned a lot by studying up on what I didn't understand. I knew those books forwards and backwards, every page.

As an engineer, this knowledge paid off bigtime. I was a walking encyclopedia.
