The Japanese are well known for following certain philosophies in their everday lives as well as industry, business and design.

One such philosophy, as an example, was Kanban (看板) (Just In Time) which American and British manufacturing adopted.

Another philosophy I remember was that applied to radio and consumer electronics design, called: "Sheerline" (I don't know the equivalent in Japanese). I even remember reviews on this period of design in Radio, TV and Hi-Fi magazines.

Does anyone else remember the period of sheerline radios.

The pic below, a GE P1704A, was one such radio that was classed as sheerline.
