I-Cascio Brothers - Izazi Ezine ze-Golden Age ye-Electronics

“Isidingo akusona umama wobuhlakani, ubuhlakani bungumama wesidingo,” kufundeka kanjalo umbhalo osemnyango wendlu kaToshio Kahio, manje enomnyuziyamu, ngokukhululekile. Ukuziqhenya ngendawo yesakhiwo, esisendaweni ehlala abantu abaningi e-Tokyo, i-Setagaya, ideski eliphansi lapho omunye wabazalwane abane abasunguli bakaCasio kubikwa ukuthi waqhamuka nemibono yakhe eminingi.

UToshio, owesibili omdala kubazalwane abane baseCasio, wayeqondiswa umbono wokudala izinto "umhlaba ongakaziboni." Umsunguli, owayekhonze uThomas Edison kusukela ebuntwaneni, wayexakwe ngumqondo wokushintsha i-abacus yendabuko ngomshini osuselwa kubuchwepheshe besimanje, ngokusho komndeni. Nokho, ukusungulwa kwakhe okuphumelelayo kwaba ipayipi elincane - umlomo oxhunywe indandatho emunweni wakhe (okuthiwa jubiva). Lokhu kwavumela izisebenzi zase-Japan yangemva kwempi ukuba zibheme ugwayi wazo, zinciphise imfucuza.

Abazalwane abane baseKashio ebusheni babo

Uma ungenalutho, qasha inqola

Ubaba wabazalwane baseCasio waqala watshala irayisi. Yena nomkhaya wakhe babe sebethuthela eTokyo futhi baba izisebenzi zokwakha, besebenzela ukwakha kabusha leli dolobha ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba okwabhubhisa ngo-1923. Ukuze onge imali, wayehamba ngezinyawo amahora amahlanu ngosuku eya futhi ebuya emsebenzini.

Phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, indodana yakhe uTadao, engamukelwanga ebuthweni ngezizathu zempilo, yakhiqiza imishini yezindiza. Nokho, ukuphela kobutha kwaletha izinguquko ezinkulu ekuphileni komkhaya kaCasio. Amabhomu aseMelika abhidliza indlu yawo, ukukhiqizwa kwawo okusebenza kahle kwawa, ayeka uku-oda izimpahla zempi. Abazalwane, ababebuya ebuthweni, abawutholanga umsebenzi. Kungazelelwe, uTadao wathola isithembiso sokuthenga umshini wokugaya oshibhe kakhulu. Ngemishini enjalo, kwakungenzeka ukukhiqiza izinto eziningi zasendlini eziwusizo njengezimbiza, izitofu nama-heaters, izinto ezazidingeka kakhulu kulezi zikhathi ezimbi zangemva kwempi. Inkinga, nokho, yayiwukuthi umshini wokugaya wawusendaweni yokugcina impahla eqhele ngamakhilomitha angama-300 ukusuka eTokyo. Inhloko yomndeni, ubaba wabafowabo

UKashio wathola ikhambi. Waqasha inqola enamasondo amabili ndawana thize futhi, walinamathisela ebhayisikilini, wathutha umshini wokugaya onesisindo esingamakhilogremu angama-500 ngomgwaqo oya eTokyo. Lokhu kwaqhubeka amasonto ambalwa.

Ngo-April 1946, uTadao Kashio wasungula iKashio Seisakujo Company, eyenza ukunyakaza okuningi okulula. Wamema umfowabo uToshio ukuba ajoyine inkampani yakhe futhi wathola impendulo enhle. Ekuqaleni, uTadao noToshio kuphela ababehileleke kulo msebenzi, kodwa lapho uKazuo eqeda izifundo zakhe zesiNgisi eNihon University eTokyo ngo-1949, abazalwane baqala ukusebenza njengabathathu. Omncane, u-Yukio, uqedele le quartet ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-50s.

Njengophawu lwenhlonipho yengane, abazalwane baqale benza ubaba kaCascio njengomongameli. Kodwa-ke, kusukela ngo-1960, inkampani yayiholwa uchwepheshe omdala futhi onekhono kakhulu uTadao, kamuva owaba umongameli osemthethweni weCasio. Ngenkathi u-Toshio esungula izinto ezintsha, uKazuo - owayevuleleke kakhulu kwabane kubantu - wayephethe ukuthengisa nokuthengisa, futhi kamuva waba umongameli olandelayo ngemuva kukaTadao. Omncane kubazalwane, uYukio, wayaziwa njengonjiniyela omnene nozothile owakhiqiza imibono kaToshio.

Ihhovisi lasekhaya likaToshio, lapho aqhamuke khona neningi lemibono yakhe, manje seliyimnyuziyamu.

Umbono uqonde kusukela ethiyetha

Ngo-1949, uTadao wabamba iqhaza ohlotsheni lwemidlalo yaseshashalazini embukisweni wezohwebo eGinza, eTokyo. Esiteji kwakunomncintiswano wokubala ngokushesha phakathi kwesosha laseMelika elalihlome umshini wokubala omkhulu kagesi kanye nomgcini-mabhuku waseJapane owayephethe i-abacus yakudala. Ngokuphambene nalokho obekulindelwe, umphakathi walisekela ngokusobala leli sosha. Ngaleso sikhathi eJapane kwakukhona isifiso esingenakuvinjelwa sokuduma hhayi kuphela ngezimpumelelo zama-samurai, kodwa futhi emkhakheni wentuthuko yesayensi nezobuchwepheshe.

Ngokusobala, kwakungale nkulumo lapho uTadao eqhamuke nombono wokukhiqizwa ngobuningi kwezibali. Waqala ukubuza umsunguli onekhono - Toshio ukwakha umshini onjalo. Ngo-1954, ngemva kokuhlola inqwaba yama-prototypes, bagcina benza umshini wokubala kagesi wokuqala wase-Japan. 

Bethule idivayisi yabo kuBunshodo Corporation, edayisa izinto zasehhovisi. Kodwa-ke, abamele iBunshodo abazange baneliseke ngomkhiqizo futhi basho ukuthi umklamo wawo uphelelwe yisikhathi. Ngakho-ke, uTadao Casio wathatha imali mboleko yasebhange futhi waqhubeka nokuthuthukisa idivayisi yekhompyutha nabafowabo.

Ngo-1956, abanumzane baseCascio babenohlobo olusha lokubala olucishe lulungile. Ukuze kuncishiswe ubukhulu bayo futhi kuvunyelwe ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi, i-Tashio yanquma ukuyiklama kabusha ngokuphelele. Wasebenzisa amasekhethi adluliswayo asetshenziswa kumabhodi okushintshanisa izingcingo, esusa phakathi kwezinye izinto amakhoyili futhi wehlisa nenani lamakhoyili lisuka ezinkulungwaneni ezimbalwa laya ku-341. Wabuye wasungula eyakhe i-relay, ekwazi ukumelana nothuli. Ngenxa yalokho, umshini wokubala omusha awuzange uthembele ezingxenyeni zemishini ezifana namagiya futhi wawufakwe izikhiye zezinombolo eziyishumi, njengemishini yesimanje ephathwa ngesandla.

Ekupheleni kuka-1956, abazalwane banquma ukuhambisa imishini yabo eSapporo. Nokho, lapho kulayishwa umshini wokubala endizeni e-Haneda Airport, kwatholakala ukuthi isidlule kuwo.

usayizi womthwalo ovumelekile. Izikhulu zesikhumulo sezindiza zicele ukuthi kususwe ukhakhayi olungaphezulu lwesibali. Abazalwane bazama ukuchaza ukuthi lokhu kungase kumlimaze, kodwa kwanhlanga zimuka nomoya - kwadingeka ukuba imoto ihlakazwe ukuze ihambe. 

Lapho sifika eSapporo, umshini wokubala owawuhlanganiswe ngokugcwele wayeka ukusebenza futhi abazalwane kwadingeka baveze umkhiqizo wabo ngama-slide. Babephatheke kabi kakhulu, kodwa lapho sebebuyela ekhaya, bathintwa ummeleli we-Uchida Yoko Co., owayekhona kulo mbukiso owawunengwadla. Ucele uTadao Kashio ukuthi eze ehhovisi futhi aphinde abonise ukusebenza komshini omusha. Lapho konke kuhamba kahle, inkampani yathembisa ukwenza isivumelwano nomdayisi okhethekile.

Ngo-1957, abazalwane bakhulula umshini wokubala wokuqala ohlangene kagesi wonke, i-Casio 14-A, enesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-140, yayilingana netafula, futhi ibiza njengemoto. Ngokushesha kwaqala ukujabulela impumelelo enkulu - lezi kwakuyizinsuku zangaphambi kokuguqulwa kwe-miniaturization.

Kusukela ezimpini zokubala kuya emawashi amakhulu

Ngawo lowo nyaka umshini wokubala we-14-A owakhululwa, abazalwane banquma ukushintsha igama lenkampani laba yiCasio Computer Company, ababecabanga ukuthi lalizwakala liseNtshonalanga kakhulu. Umqondo wawuwukukhulisa ukukhanga kwenkampani ezimakethe zomhlaba zangemva kwempi. Emashumini eminyaka alandelayo, iCasio ihlukanise umnikelo wayo ngokwethula izinsimbi zomculo, amakhamera edijithali, amaphrojekhtha, namawashi edijithali. Kodwa-ke, ngaphambi kokuba ithole isikhundla somhlaba wonke, ngeminyaka yama-60s nasekuqaleni kwawo-70 inkampani kwadingeka iguqule lokho okubizwa ngokuthi isibali sempi.

Khona-ke i-Casio yayingomunye wemikhiqizo engaphezu kwamashumi amane eJapane, e-US naseYurophu eyayilwela intende emakethe ye-pocket electronic calculators. Lapho abazalwane bethula iCasio Mini ngo-1972, umncintiswano wasala ngemuva. Imakethe yagcina iphethwe yizinkampani zaseJapan - iCasio neSharp. Ngo-1974, abazalwane base bedayise amamodeli amaMini angaba yizigidi eziyishumi emhlabeni wonke. Umncintiswano uwinwe ngenye imodeli, usayizi wekhadi lesikweletu lokuqala emhlabeni.

Kusukela ngawo-80, inkampani iye yandisa ngokuhlelekile uhla lomkhiqizo wayo. Waqala ukukhiqiza izinzwa zokushisa nengcindezi yomkhathi, amakhampasi, imishini yokuqina, izilawuli kude ze-TV, izidlali zeMP3, iziqophamazwi, amakhamera edijithali. Ekugcineni inkampani isikhiphe iwashi le-GPS lokuqala emhlabeni.

Okwamanje, ukuthengiswa kwewashi, ikakhulukazi ulayini we-G-Shock, kubiza cishe uhhafu wemali engenayo ye-Casio. Njengomshini wokubala wangaphambilini, imodeli ka-April 1983 yashintsha imakethe. I-anecdote evela enkampanini ithi abasebenzi basendlunkulu yakwaHamura, abadlula ngaphansi kwesakhiwo, kwadingeka babheke ama-prototypes e-G-Shock ewa esuka esitezi esiphezulu, avivinywa abaklami.

Yiqiniso, le modeli edumile yayisekelwa imikhankaso yokukhangisa enamandla. Ivezwe njengomkhiqizo kumafilimu amaningi adumile, njengelithi Men in Black noma elinye i-box office hit, Mission: Impossible. Ngo-Agasti odlule, kwathengiswa ikhophi yesigidi sesi-XNUMX yolayini we-G-Shock wamawashi.

Kulaba bazalwane abane, kwasala uYukio kuphela ...

Ikusasa lizoguga?

Lapho uKazuo eshona ngoJuni 2018, kwasinda umfowabo omncane u-Yukio (5). Eminyakeni emithathu ngaphambili, ngo-2015, indodana yakhe uKazuhiro yathatha iCasio. Njengoba indlalifa yesiko lenkampani yasho, nakuba ukuduma kolayini we-G-Shock kusize uCasio ukuba aphile futhi abhekane kahle nenkathi yama-smartphones, inkampani ibhekene nezinselelo ezinkulu. Okwamanje azikho ezinye izimpahla eziqinile emakethe ye-elekthronikhi yabathengi ngaphandle kwamawashi. Indodana kaKazuo ikholelwa ukuthi iCasio kufanele ibheke ikusasa layo kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi yimakethe yezinto ezigqokwayo noma ezigqokwayo.

Ngakho mhlawumbe kudingeka inguquko yesithathu. Inzalo yabazalwane bakaKashio kufanele inikeze umkhiqizo ozoba impumelelo kule makethe. Njengangaphambili, kwenzekile ngesibali esincane noma iwashi elingazweli kakhulu.

UKazuhiro Kashio, indodana kaKazuo, uthatha izintambo
