- Here's a list that I originally put together for comp.robotics, but it applies
- to both comp.robotics and rec.arts.metalworking. If anyone has anything to
- add to this list or updates on information, I'll gladly add it to the list
- and perhaps supply an update sometime.
-
- Hope this helps!!

- The Hoser's List of Robotics Part Suppliers (mechanical) is a Public Service
- to the USENET Community, partially because it's something that I like to have;
- therefore there must be someone else who'd like to have it also. I would like
- to thank all those kind people in the USENET community who have submitted
- names of companies. If you know of a good supplier who should be on this list,
- let us know.

- The usual disclaimer nonsense: We try to keep this thing accurate, but let's
- face it, occasionally mistakes happen, so we disclaim any responsibility for bad
- addresses, nor should the reader assume that the Place I work at recommends or
- condones the manufacturer's below. We assume that You know what you're doing.

- If all else fails, Look here:
-
- _The_Thomas_Register_of_American_Manufacturers_and_Thomas_Register_
- catalog_file. Thomas Publishing Company, New York.
- This encyclopedic volume set is the manufacturer's yellow pages. All kinds
- of manufacturers advertise here -- from those who make motors to fire
- escapes, and everything in between. Many libraries have a set of these --
- and many machine/electronics repair shops have them also. Look around for
- a whole bunch of tall green books, or ask the librarian for the Thomas
- Register. Often a good starting place if you are unsure where to get things.
- Note: it is by no means complete, as new companies are popping up all the
- time. These come out every year, and cost (I believe) around $250.00 for
- a set. We found a bunch of good companies to order things from in here.
