Additionally, I am also confused, when pp refering to the so called "
auto/manual mixture control" of a Zeke
(off topic, but anyway they share the almost same engine so I'd ask the question here
) :

As far as I can tell according to the Illegible
A6M3取扱説明書抄録, that "
A" is so called "高度弁操作把手" (mixture control handle).
It did neither refer to "auto" nor "manual", and I can't find any diagram refering "
B" in it.
The only original reference that use the term "
auto/manual" is a war time test report by the US.
Saids one is "mixture control"(probably
B) which makes the mixture
automatic when positioned to the rear.
While the other one is
manually operated "idling mixture control"(probably
A) which leans the mixture when warming up.
(I do not fully trust the US source)
So, what exactly are handle
A &
B for ?
