ATTACHMT: OCTOBER 9, 1988 LETTER FROM JONES TO BURKARD, EBNER, AND TEVES, OCTOBER 9, 1981 LETTER FROM BERNDT TO KAWANO, FEBRUARY 3, 1981 LETTER FROM KAWANO TO BERNDT, MAY 24, 1974 LETTER FROM TEVES TO GREGORY, AND MAY 27, 1988 LETTER FROM TEVES TO JONES

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of May 24, 1974 to Dr. Gregory asking whether the five master cylinder reservoir designs indicated would meet the requirements of S5.4.1 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 105-75.

Each of these designs appears to conform to S5.4.1 providing that the reservoir capacity requirements of S5.4.2 are met. It appears that Designs (3) and (4) would require additional fluid for the clutch.
