Chris King’s Millionth Bearing Race

Just this past week, Chris King Precision Components celebrated Edward Panibratets’ millionth bearing produced at their Portland, OR facility. To add to the excitement, this milestone happened to fall on Chris King’s birthday.

Edward Panibratets with no. 1,000,000, and the New Britain lathe responsible for the dirty work.

Cake and balloons for all!
