I appreciate your courtesy, Tanaka-san.
I have enjoyed my own research this time.
Thank you very much and let me wish your good luck.

Hi, here attached is my summary to be submitted to the local museum, for your review.
If anything critical, would be appreciated if you let me know.
Many thanks, mt

If I were you, Tanaka-san, I would summarize like follows though I do not deny your good job. No problem but technical explanation looks a little weak when questioned by a technical expert.

Main points to identify the relic.
1. It is not a generator but a motor because of its structure.
2. There are two bolts on the relic to fix the motor to the base.

Therefore, it is neither APU generator nor a motor for the turrets.
It is a motor for the hydraulic system as the design and purpose coincides to EE125M1 well as example.
No such motors are found in the B-29 except the motor for the propeller feathering pump.
Therefore it is natural to think that the relic is a motor for the propeller feathering pump.

Shinpachi-san,
Thank you always. I am quite flexible on this so added suggested texts in the explanation section as attached.
Will go report to the local museum next week.

Best regards,
M. Tanaka
