Dear mr. Palazzi: Thank you for your letter of June 3 to the National Highway Safet Bureau asking 'whether the solution given in the enclosed drawing N. 591-1559 of Ferrari is in line with the requirements' of Federal motor vehicle safety standard No. 211.; This standard states that 'wheel nuts, hub caps, and wheel discs fo use on passenger cars...shall not incorporate winged projections'. The Ferrari plan appears to incorporate such a projection, even though it is recessed. Accordingly the proposed solution by Ferrari does not meet the requirements of Federal standard No. 211.; Sincerely, Joseph R. O'Gorman, Acting Director
