ATTACHMT: MEMO DATED 7-18-88, FROM ERIKA Z. JONES, TO FRANK V. TANZELLA, STD207, STD108 (A)(2)(N)

TEXT: I am currently involved as a sub-contractor for NYNEX Mobile Communications, in a project to install Credit Card Mobile Telephones into Taxi Cabs in the Boston, MA area. We have found in reviewing this project that it may be necessary to cut into the ba ck of the front seat in order to provide clearance for the phone. The enclosed sketch should clarify this.

Before proceeding with this, we would like to be informed about the applicable safety regulations governing the seat, so as to ensure that there are no violations of the regulations.

Would you please provide me with any safety regulation information which would govern this situation. In addition, I would appreciate information on any additional testing which may be necessary.

Please call me if there are any questions.

Enclosure
