Subject: [CR]RE:DATE CODES

I believe that there were few date codes used by the JAPANESE mfrs until that 1976 date..............what changed? CPSC and RECALLS!! prior there was little interest in dating and coding but after a few recalls where ALL their product had to come back, pretty much everyone came up with a way to track production.
