He thinks the reason he was sent out to Takasaki Railway Management Bureau was because he was doing everything he wanted to do, and Takasaki was known as a place where you really have to be taken care of very carefully from the top.
Because of his related involvement with the electric railway system, where the motor itself is a kind of big magnet, he knew that the vibration problem could be solved with the improvement of windings.
The concern was a possible breakdown of the superconducting state to the normal state, but he had long experience with the ordinary electric motor, therefore he thought that a sort of deliberate winding for our location of winding the motor would be safe.
