A contrivance applied to steam engines ,
water wheels ,

to maintain nearly uniform speed when the resistances and motive force are variable .

The illustration shows a form of governor commonly used for steam engines ,
in wich a heavy sleeve (
a )
sliding on a rapidly revolving spindle (

driven by the engine ,
is raised or lowered ,
when the speed varies ,
by the changing centrifugal force of two balls (

to which it is connected by links (
d d ),
the balls being attached to arms (
e e )
which are jointed to the top of the spindle .
The sleeve is connected with the throttle valve or cut -
off through a lever (

and its motion produces a greater supply of steam when the engine runs too slowly and a less supply when too fast .
