Abstract
The feasibility of approving the use of a rectangular shaped, sealed-beam headlamp as an alternative to round headlamps is discussed in terms of economics, service and maintainability, vehicle design, and styling. A conclusion of primary interest is reached, that design as well as performance standardization is in the interest of the buying public, under certain conditions, and proliferation of designs without compensatory gain should be avoided.
