set at a line 37 inches above level of surface on which car stands.
(See Fig. 20.) With tops of bright spots thus set for empty car,
the headlamps comply, under
all conditions of loading, with the
requirements of the various states.
3. The beam of light from each headlamp is to extend
straight forward· that
is, the centers of the elliptical spots of
light must be 30 inches apart.
Proper alignment of headlamps is readily checked
by means
of a horizontal line on the wall in front of the car, 37 inches
above the level surface on which car stands, and two vertical
lines 30 inches apart, each one 15 inches from center line of car.
Proper alignment of car relative to marks on the wall may be
readily provided by use of wheel guide blocks for one side of
the car, as shown in cut. If it is impossible to tic up the floor
space required by these blocks, marks painted on the floor may
be used to show where one set of wheels should track and where
the car should be stopped.
