Dear Mr. Louis:#This is in response to your letter of September 13 1974, requesting an interpretation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101.#You ask confirmation that your proposed vertically lettered identification for windshield wiper and hazard warning switches will meet the requirement of Standard No. 101, S4.2.1, that the identification 'shall appear to the operator in an upright position.'#Both horizontally and vertically lettered identifications are acceptable, as long as their appearance is upright. We have no objection to your use of the proposed designations.#Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Acting Chief Counsel;
