          Believe it or not Kodak very much still exists. Film photography is in a resurgence, and plenty of movies are still shot in it. Also a large chemical division. Still nothing compared to its glory days though.

    Hitachi is one of those companies that makes just about everything. I’ve made parts for them that are used in nuclear power generation.

    After a long day operating Hitachi heavy machinery, soothe your muscles with a Hitachi back massager.

    The Hungarian Fegyver és Gépgyár (Weapons and Machinery Factory) was famous for two things:

    1. Making 70-80 percent of all Hungarian gas heating tech until they forgot to adjust to newer tech like condensational gas furnaces.
    2. Officially licensed AKM clones, one modified to have a shorter barrel for tank crew.
