Miniaturization





THE TININESS RACE

The race toward miniaturization particularly divided in East vs. West fashion, led by Japan in the East and (amongst others) Germany in the West. One (apocryphal) story recounts that a ''drill bit'' of tiny proportions was sent to Japan - only to return with a hole drilled through it. See Japanese Miniaturization Culture .
