We think the next 10,000 miles car should be fitted up with spherically mounted pedal shaft to design LeC.3483. This was instructed experimentally on 19/5/33 and we should like to know if Experimental Department are satisfied with the mounting of the shaft in the gearbox without any alteration to the other end of the shaft.
