FYI: Machine Design Mag. Best of Web

[FastEddy]

FYI: Those of us interested in such things as turntable design and construction, tape transports, moving coil devices, heaters, coolers, sensors ... are dealing with the mechanical engineering world, the analogue world if you will.

I was looking at last months issue of Machine Design Magazine, an engineering trade journal, with the "best of the web" articles when I realized that more than half of these web sites / resources were related directly or indirectly to mechanical, analog audio device design and construction information ... so for those of you interested in such:
