Dear Mr. Nakajima:

This is in reply to your letter of October 18, 1974 to Dr. Gregory asking whether the start position may be designated as the check position required by paragraph S5.3.2 of Standard No. 105-75.

The answer is yes. Any position between "on" and "start", including "on" and "start" may be designated by the manufacturer as a check position.

Yours truly,

Richard B. Dyson Acting Chief Counsel
