Going back in the 1930’s X and Y were not rivals. A catalog of the time boasted of the
superiority of a particular device, saying: ".......it is produced by a leading manufacturer,
Nippon Kogaku K.K. (the original name of Y). This is the first of that device (made in
Japan) ever capable of replacing high quality foreign-made devices. “
Frankly, as far as the know-how and the technological aspect of the device design came
from Europe. A legacy of making that device technology left by Heinrich Acht, an
engineer who came to X from Germany in the 1920s - which enabled Kakuya
Sunayama, the head of Y' s Design Departments to attempt to develop that device. After
innumerable trials,Sunayama finally succeeded in creating a high quality device in 1932.
Unfortunately, Y had not yet perfected a body to support that device. In fact, there was
no Japanese manufacturer that could compliment the Y’s device. Then one day, X found
its way to Y's door. The courtship was short and in 1934, the marriage was struck.
Id X & Y.
