Dear Mr. Nakajima: This responds to Toyota's March 25, 1975, request for confirmation tha the top surface of a 'console' (a box-like unit mounted between the front bucket seats of your passenger cars) is not considered to be an armrest for purposes of the requirements of Standard No. 201, *Occupant Protection in Interior Impact*.; Your interpretation is correct. As described in your letter, th console top would not be an 'armrest' to which the requirements of Standard No. 201 apply.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
