"Dear Mr. Burgess: This is in response to your letter o j February 7, 1975, in which you ask whether the control lever/throttle arm of diesel fuel injection equipment is considered part of the pump mechanism or part of the 'linkage,' *i.e.* the accelerator control system, within the meaning of Standard No. 124."; The control lever/throttle is similar to the throttle lever referred t in Docket 69-20, Notice 5 (copy attached). In that notice, we established that the throttle lever is not part of the 'driver-operated accelerator control system', but rather part of the fuel metering device and therefore does not fall within the ambit of Standard No. 124.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
