ATTACHMT: Attached To 10/26/94 Letter From Philip R. Recht To Rishi Gupta (A42; STD. 108)

TEXT: We are developing a 7" round and a 200 x 142 mm rectangular replaceable halogen sealed beams. These replaceable halogen sealed beams use a replaceable halogen bulb (HB2) and are not same as Halogen Sealed Beam.

There is some confusion regarding exact position and type of aiming pads on the lenses on these lights. I am faxing you a copy of the aiming pad positions as per SAE as well as what we propose to develop. Please have a look at these drawings and let us know what we are proposing will conform to DOT specifications.

The aiming pads positions and sizes/types we are proposing are already being sold by Hella, Inc. as conforming to DOT specifications. I have also checked with ETL Testing Laboratories and they had agreed that the aiming pads positions and types we are p roposing conforms to DOT specifications.

Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.
