Dear Mr. Hammond: This is in reply to your letters of October 25, and December 14, 1973 I regret that your earlier letter did not arrive.; You stated that your customer wishes to mount rear identification lamp at the same height from the ground as the rear turn signal, stop, tail and clearance lamps, and that, because of the shallowness of the rear header area it is not 'practicable' to mount them there.; Although it may not be 'practicable' to mount the Grote 272 lamp, specified by your customer, in the header area, there may b other conforming lamps that it would be 'practicable' to mount in that location in a three-lamp identification array. If such lamps are available, then Standard No. 108 takes priority over contractual specifications, especially since the clearance lamps will be mounted at a point other than 'as close as practicable to the top of the vehicle'.; Yours truly, Richard By. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
