Since

January 1945 the airNissan Automobile Co. moved to its newly constructed plant at Yoshiwara, in Fuji-(iun, Shizuoka j)refecture, nc^ar the coast, midway between Tokyo and Nagoya (appendix A). This new plant was built during the last 6 months of 1944, and under ideal conditions it was planned to produce about 2,000 engines monthly. From February 1945 until August 1945 the new plant averaged a little over 100 per month. Concerned with the production of only a single product and ably staffed by engineers and laborers who were familiar with low-horsepower in-line automobile engines, the plant doubtl(>ssly would have opei'ated at peak capacity had not the air attack in July 1945 interrupted production.
