Interesting indeed, and hard to imagine how they acquired such precision manufacturing skills

Its history is very interesting!

I ride my bicycle through Ogaki on the way to Gero. I'll keep my eye out for them next time.

It is “a single point of failure” from many, not “the single point of failure”. This is a common thing with single points of failure, and it goes against the intuitive feel of the phrase. Talking about “The single points of failure” is a frequently made mistake.

There are so many things to go wrong, it's a wonder they are able to make those chips.
