TEXT: Dear Mr. Vinson,
In reference of our phone conversation of early May, I would appreciate a letter of confirmation reguarding the D.O.T. codes and regulations concerning Diamond Cross's Safety Light.
As I mentioned to you on the phone, upon my personal visitation to Washington over a year ago, I received an oral approval of the Chief Council that our safety light was not in any violation of codes or regulations. We are presently at the stage of marketing this product and have been advised that confirmation of such D.O.T. approval should be of record on file.
The safety light itself shows left/right directional signals and when the caution light/emergency light appears, the formation of such lights indicates a diamond. Please note again, this safety light is an "auxiliary" truch light and does not replace any origional equipment.
As time is of essence to us, I will give you a call later today to confirm receival and confirmation of written approval to follow. Thank you for your time and readiness concerning this matter.
Sincerely yours,
DC (trademark) Lights
