Description
Pickering's governor. The balls are attached to springs the upper end of each of which is attached to a collar fixed on the spindle, and the lower end to a collar on the sliding sleeve. The springs yield in a proper degree to the centrifugal force of the balls, and raise the sleeve ; and as the centrifugal force diminishes, they draw the balls toward the spindle and depress the sleeve. |
