Dear Mr. Gilstrap: We are enclosing an Experimental Device Permit authorizing you to equi the buses described in your letter of December 11 with a warning system which will flash the clearance and sidemarker lamps in the event of an emergency. The permit will expire on December 31, 1974.; Please supply us with the data on the number and types of crime involving your buses during the calendar years 1972 and 1973. This information can later be compared with that of similar periods during 1974 when the buses are equipped with the experimental lamps. We would also like to have a copy of the outline of your plan for evaluating the effectiveness of the new system.; A copy of the drawing or wiring diagram of the installation would als be of interest to us, particularly the safeguards taken against the possibility of inadvertent activation.; Very truly yours, Warren M. Heath, Commander, Engineering Section
