Product Description

――In the middle volume, we will explain the electric devices and braking devices of the Moha 63 series cars in an easy-to-understand manner with figures and tables.
――Since many of these devices were used in the Moha 72, Moha 80, and Moha 70 groups, as well as in the prewar JNR trains that had been renewed and repaired to unify the equipment, the old model was used in this volume. You can get an overview of the control device braking device of the Japanese National Railways.
