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.
