No, it was on the opposite end, just shy of the inboard race, if I recall correctly. The rep kept the broken axle. To this day, as a result of that failure some 40 odd years ago, I have an orphaned Campagnolo pedal axle sitting in one of my parts bins. I remember that prior to the failure, there was a short period with a mysterious creaking that I could not locate. Then there was the "Eueka!" moment, shortly after the "WTF!" moment of being stunned by the failure.
