Photos of closing It should be noted that while members of the former anti-war storefront are involved with the Flying Squirrel that the two projects were and are separate entities. The Flying Squirrel collective met at the storefront—and we were certainly thankful for the space—but one did not morph into the other. The anti-war storefront was a project of Peace Action and Educaton—a task force of Metro Justice.

Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing (formerly Auburn Ball Bearing) is a manufacturer of ball and roller thrust bearings, precision components, and custom machined parts. Originally established in Auburn, NY, in 1989, Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing is considered one of the oldest continuously operating thrust ball bearing manufacturers in the United States today. Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing has built a strong reputation in the bearing manufacturing industry over the years and is well-known for its unique raceway design, called the Auburn "V" Groove Raceway. This V-groove raceway is designed to contain the ball bearings with four points of contact, and as a result, these bearings are able to operate with much less rolling friction. Auburn Bearing's thrust bearings that feature this V-groove raceway design have the advantage of carrying much larger radial loads than that of the typical round grooved thrust bearings. In 2006, Auburn Ball Bearing was purchased by Fairport Products, a designer and manufacturer of power transmission parts. Under its new owner, the two companies were merged and become one under a new name, Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing. Today, Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing operates out of Macedon, located in Upstate New York, and the company specializes in custom, obsolete, and hard-to-find thrust bearings in low- to mid-production volumes. Furthermore, the company is increasing its capabilities in manufacturing custom radial bearings.
