It's GREAT MiTasol, I have a low res version of this layout image. So I have saved yours to replace the previous one.
In post#8 , I was trying to translate the device name directly from the Japanese manual, intended to figure out how to operate.
Appreciate that! I would like to read it. Hopeing...
A Japanese zero researcher has noticed: different type of zero has different name for A & B
For type32 A is 高度弁control handle, but not for type21
For 21, A is so called 高度弁automatic arrangement handle and B is 高度弁automatic switch handle
Though we have the name, but those names just make...
I know that in the manual of Ki-43 does mentioned (somewhere), that the "高空弁" need to positioned at "常時"(like takeoff climbing fighting) except for cruising(at high altitude?) which need to positioned at "巡航"(forward).
For the "Ha-25 Engine Manual" @Shinpachi San.
Do you mean PDF 九九式...
Besides, I can't find most of the manuals of IJN for some reasons, but a series of IJA flight manuals can be find on it http://dl.ndl.go.jp

I'm not sure if someone has mentioned this.

Hi GregP
Thanks for the reply !
I think I have made too much A6M disscusion in a Ki-43 topic
So I decide to start a new one for A6M cockpit and operation only.
[Manual] A6M Zeke/Hamp study

A topic focus on cockpit and operation of the A6M
First of all, a cockpit overview:

Wish I could read this thread earlier LOL
Here is an other site for digitized archives:
アジア歴史資料センター
They may not share some of the downloadable digital files with each other
And you may need to input Japanese/Kanji to search the site like:
A6M ("6"not "6")
ハ 25
発動機
取扱説明書
