When the office was first established, Dr. Inokuty gave his full support to its work but his obligations at the university prevented him from visiting frequently. Issey made visits to the Dr.’s home instead. He also consulted professors specializing in machinery and shipbuilding at the University of Tokyo and always maintained close relationships with university staff. The office, which had scarce capital and meager facilities, was able to improve its performance and technical capabilities thanks to the support it received from Dr. Inokuty and many other professors. As a result, the Nippori Plant received pump orders from customers including the Taichung City Waterworks Bureau in Taiwan, and the Mikawashima Sewage Treatment Plant and Asakusa Tamachi Drainage Pump Station in Tokyo, allowing it to show the world that it possessed outstanding technology even though it was a small local workshop with minimal facilities.
