Sec. 501.8  Submission of each model.

    Each meter model proposed for manufacture must be approved by the 
Postal Service after testing at the manufacturer's expense. A 
preliminary working model that meets the specifications in Sec. 501.6 
may be submitted for tentative approval. No meter of any model may be 
distributed or used for postage payment until a complete unit made to 
production drawings and specifications is submitted, tested, and 
approved, unless authorized for preliminary field testing.
