Early symbols (1 Viewer)

Hey all!
I have a maybe quick question for you. What is this “three peak” casting symbol on the F135 exhaust manifold? Is it a manufacturer logo I am guessing? Sorry for the crude drawing.

Another one I am curious about is the small TR in a circle on the back of the switches. Any ideas what that stands for? Thanks for any help!

I think the TR stands for Tokai Rika.

If I'm not mistaken the "three peak" casting symbol stands for Nishioka Malleable Iron Industries

Ah! I should have known the TR one. That is a super cool picture! Thanks for sharing
Cool the iron works is still going! I had heard of the Mountain rotors, no idea they also made the manifolds back in the day

Awesome! I wish my 40 still had its originals tools. I’ll collect them all back someday.

On this topic, and correct me if there is a thread already like this, but any other cool or lesser known symbols on our early 40s? I know the Yazaki “arrow” and of course ND. Not sure how many different manufacturers they had making parts in the early days.

There is a ‘mount Fuji’ on the radiator. Is that a logo of a subcontractor too?
