regarding the flying saucer era, the dp-20s thru the dp-70s, the QL-y tables, all the denon and jvc tables during and around the flying saucer era, did denon manufacture any of the JVC?
did JVC maufacture any of the denons?
did JVC invent or develop quartz lock?
did JVC invent the what is the nivico, jvc and victor relation?

The 1978 Audio magazine ad below says JVC invented quartz lock for turntables in 1974 (Seiko introduced quartz watches in 1969).

I believe JVC was originally Victor Record or RCA Victor's subsidiary or importer in Japan. It was called Nippon Victor Company (or Corporation) (hence Nivico), but that was changed to Japan Victor Company, and then JVC.
