Dear Mr. Dyson

Re; Operating Point of Hand Parking System

Would you inform us your opinion regarded with 90 lb force applied to hand-operated parking system in MVSS 105A Docket No. 70-27 Notice 5 Section 5.2.

In this regulation we cannot find the operating point.

We would like to consider it on the middle finger in following figure.

Your kind reply will be high appreciated,

Sincerely yours,
