one that throttles or controls the flow of steam from 

 boiler to cylind 



the speed of the balls increase the centrifugal force 

 - to force them further from the axis. The mechan- 

 ism of the governor is such that this "pulling out 

 forces the valve stem down into the '. 

 l>cr ami tliis throttles or reduces the flow or volume 

 am to the cylinder. 



On all throttling governors, (which is the one used 

 on farm i engines), this pulling out tendency 



of the hulls is controlled by a spring, and if you wish to 

 increase the speed of your engine you have only to 

 increase the tension of this spring; and to slow down 

 your engine reduce the tension. The Monarch and 

 Eclipse are governors of this class. 



I think what I have said regarding this particular class 

 of governors will enable you to handle any one you may 

 come in contact with, as they are all very much alike in 

 these respects. It is not my intention to take time and 

 o to describe a governor in detail. If you will follow 

 us I have Driven you the governor will attend 

 to the rest. The other class of governors are known as 

 the fly-wheel or eccentric governor, and governs the en- 

 gine by the variation of travel or throw of the valve, but 

 \ ill not find this class of governor on your traction 

 engine.
