From Sheldon: "
In the late 1960s, as a cost-cutting move, Raleigh fitted horrible cheap pedals that had no ball bearings. The version used on 3-speeds had an oval rubber platform."

I had a set just like the ones in the first post come through my garage. They were on a late 60's/early 70's youth model Raleigh Record. No Bearings, just a concave/convex cone. Only pair I've ever seen.
