Thomas:

I believe this could be where Kanehide became a part-time employee in 1953, please see pic below to confirm. Do the documents list any employee names?

一、昭和二八年四月一日　岐阜県金属試験場のＸ託として、岐阜県下金属工業技術生の鍛造技術実習を指導

 

I am missing one of the characters so ....

 

Yes, that is the same laboratory that is mentioned in the first post.  The document only has an historical outline and does not list former staff.  It appears Kanehide was an instructor there.
