RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" CONTROL GEAR.

We send you herewith drawing LeC.1441 shewing the accelerator pedal and shaft with torsion spring applied.
The centre of the shaft has been slightly dropped to accommodate the changes to the pedal shaft bracket.
Would you kindly instruct the necessary details to this scheme.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
