Subject: [CR]Sanshin, Sunshine, Suzue

I am confused on these names. I always thought that these were all the same company. When and why did Sanshin use Sunshine as a label? I have Sunshine Junko Skyroads which are identicle in everyway to first Generation Dura Ace hubs, except the stamped name, so if in fact Suzue is a separate company I think Sanshin was Shimanos partner. I felt Sanshin quality of bearings were higher than Campagnolo though the axles seemed to be lower strength based on very limit experience.
