ACCELERATOR PEDALS. V3450 There has recently been some discussion as to the relative movement of the EAC. and 40/50 accelerator pedals. Attached are two diagramatic sketches of the levers in question. We should like to know whether you agree, that as at present fitted up, the EAC. pedal movement is 75% greater than that of the 40/50 HP.
