 FAG cs SKF

I know nothing of FAG but I do know that SKF has been around for a hundred
years or so and (at least used to) make their own product.  My father, a
machinist all his life, if given a choice, would reach for a SKF bearings
above any other brand, Timken being a close second.  I had heard at one time
the SKF, a Swedish company, had moved at least part of their operation out
of Sweden to Germany because of the econonomics in Sweden.  Some info here:
