Fafnir Bearing

The Fafnir Bearing Company was a major American manufacturer of ball bearings, founded in New Britain, Connecticut on March 8, 1911 by Howard S. Hart. The company was acquired by Textron in 1968. In 1988, Textron’s Fafnir Bearing division was acquired by the Torrington Company, which in turn sold it in 1998 to the Timken Company, which still markets ball bearings under the Fafnir brand.

During the Second World War, the 7,000 workers at Fafnir’s 600,000 square foot factory in the center of New Britain turned out 100 ball bearings per minute.[1] By 1946, Fafnir was the largest independent manufacturer of ball bearings in the United States, with exports to Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the South Pacific.[2]


Equipment manufactured at the Fafnir factory in New Britain traveled to the Moon on Apollo 11.[3]

By the mid-1980s Fafnir had become a precision ball bearing manufacturer serving the aerospace, machine tool, industrial, and agricultural industries. When it was acquired by the Torrington Company in 1985, adding Fafnir's seven manufacturing facilities to Torrington's already numerous manufacturing facilities, the result was the largest bearing manufacturing company in North America and one of the largest in the world, with total sales amounting to roughly $750 million.

Later triumphs

File:OnofrioPanvinio.jpg

Claudian, a poet in the court of the Emperor Honorius, records the last triumph celebrated in the western Empire, which took place in A.D. 404.[5][6] After the victory of the Roman general Stilicho over the Visigothic king Alaric at the battles of Pollentia and Verona, Honorius celebrated a triumph while renewing his annual consulship on the first of January.[7] Christian martyrology records that Saint Telemachus was martyred by a mob while attempting to stop the customary gladiatorial games at this triumph, and that in consequence these were the last gladiatorial games (munera gladiatoria) held at Rome.[8][9][10] Despite the traditional martyrologists' statements that gladiatorial games ended after the death of Telemachus, the western emperor Valentinian III found cause to repeat the ban on them in A.D. 438.[11]

  1. ^ Swift 1890, p. 467: “The new book of records opens with a list of the soldiers of Yarmouth who were pressed into the service in Philip’s war, together with their wages. The quotas of men required were promptly filled. Fifteen men from this town were in the Narragansett swamp fight, but none were killed. Five men from this town were killed at Rehoboth, in the fight in which Captain Pierce’s company was annihilated.”
