Paul,
Nowhere in that article does it specifically mention the shifter. However, looking at the picture on page 25 where Jack Cudworth is sitting behind the wheel the shifter looks to be the Inland. The stick looks a lot thicker than the Hurst and the handle is not the usual ball you find on a Hurst. In the article, Niles Holman states "the transmission shifts unusually hard on the street and in some cases impossible to place in second and third when shifting normally." Having rowed gears using the Inland, sounds to me from his description that's an Inland in the test car.
