If you haven't subscribed to our podcast yet, sample the quick (five minutes or less!) Machinery Minutes we release every Monday, summarizing three interesting stories from the past week.

Finally, we offer our condolences to the Bunting Magnetics family after the death of second-generation leader Robert "Bob" Bunting.
