Dear Mr. Petler:#In a telephone call subsequent to receiving our answe of July 20 to your letter of July 11, you indicated that you were concerned with a different question from the one we answered regarding the Suzuki handlebar switches you enclosed. The question you had in mind was whether the direction of movement of the switches was sufficiently vertical to satisfy the requirement for 'up' and 'down' positions.#The switches you submitted move in an arc at approximately 45 degrees from the vertical. Since they have in that position a substantial vertical component, we consider that they would conform in that respect with the requirements of the standard.#Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
