Abstract
A control arrangement for a vehicle includes a brake control for applying the brakes of the vehicle and a combined brake and transmission control for controlling the transmission over a first range of movement and thereafter applying the brakes of the vehicle over a second range of movement. The arrangement includes a brake actuating linkage and first and second pedals mounted for pivotal movement about first and second axes, respectively. Lost motion linkage means including a rotatable shaft mounted for pivotal movement about a third axis radially offset from said first and second axes and extending between said first and second pedals is further provided for compactness of design.
