In 1942 John Norden and Carl Barth, the fathers of the Norden
bombsight, founded the Barden company to produce precision ball
bearings for the Norden bombsights.

Barden is still in existence today, but it is now a subsidiary of FAG,
one of the oldest makers of ball bearings in the world which is still
headquartered in. . .

Schweinfurt, Germany.

(Yep, _that_ ball bearing factory.)

Knowing the history on that means you have one up on the folks who
slept through the class - let them find those pitfalls the hard way.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling
which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being
free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
