re Bensport Pedals.

The noise complained of in which the pedal holders knock against the footboards is due to variations in manufacture, and the fact that in this design the footboards are not adjustable in position relative to the pedals.

We think the best thing to do is to have generous size holes for the two pedals in the footboards, and increase the diameter of the gas sealing felt. This we have schemed on LeC.3479, which we hand you herewith.
