and in this position, the whole of the flag shall be above
the level of the taximeter housing. Possible movement of the flag
to an operating position immediately following its movement to

cleared position.
"(h) Control for extras registration. The knob, handle or other
mechanism shall be inoperable whenever the taximeter is cleared.
"(i) Permanence. Wherever wear or deformation of ratchets, pawls
