ABSTRACT:
A foot pedal arrangement wherein a support structure is mounted to the front wall of a diesel powered truck cab. A spring biased spool is mounted to the support structure and is interconnected to a potentiometer. A foot pedal includes a projecting arm that is pivoted to the support structure. A flexible link connection between the foot pedal arm and the spool forces rotation of the spool with pivoting of the pedal. The connection is designed to translate the traditional pedal movement to the required spool rotation as needed for monitoring by the potentiometer.
