Company History - from an old photographic album(No.6)

The founder left us many recording materials - tapes, photographs, and films both 8-mm and 16-mm....all of them exactly tell the history of KHK.

The managerial materials and the data he left us are still a good guide for today's business management.

The photographs were mainly taken by him by using his Leica and Contax cameras. These two cameras are still in working condition.	The photographic albums.
The things he left sit in 'the founder's remembrance section' in a company room.	A scroll-like long piece of paper on which revenues from 1941 up to the present are recorded together with chief events of the company and the world.
From the data we can see the business fluctuations from time to time, which we refer to in making our future plans.	The founder's personal history.
An old sketch of the factory and its living quarters	Notebooks, pocket diaries and the articles left behind.
8-mm and 16-mm films, and recording tapes.	A set of a projector and a screen. The factory tourists can see the 8-mm film scenes half a century ago through this set.
The VHS transferred from the 8-mm, 16-mm and 35-mm films	Cassette tapes. We can hear the recorded voices of our predecessors.
Our in-house bulletin 'HAGURUMA.'	A notebook the founder used. We can see his management policy jotted down on it.
A display card introducing KHK's technological roots for gear making.	Kohara Tekkosho (Ironwoks) where the founder was raised. This is one of our most treasured photographs.
Our goal for now - to do our best so that we can celebrate Kohara Gear's one hundredth anniversary coming in 2035.
