One of the best ways to stay on top of the product development industry is read through trade magazines that support it. I think I may just hold the record in the number of them I have read over the years of my career - nearly all of which I managed to get for free.
So here goes - the big list - some of which are still in publication and some not. Terribly fun to find parts, new designs, product announcements, information about companies, and to learn about specifications and applications. (Not in any particular order)
