By using a simple centrifugal governor, the speed of the motor may be controlled.

Third is the centrifugal governor, used to automatically regulate the speed of the engine.

Striking watches and some modern clocks use a centrifugal governor instead.

Negative feedback was first implemented in the 16th Century with the invention of the centrifugal governor.

James Watt never claimed the centrifugal governor to be an invention of his own.

Non-rotative beam engines also had no easy means to drive a centrifugal governor.

This is a simple link valve gear controlled automatically by a centrifugal governor.

Older controller units have been mechanical, as in a centrifugal governor or a carburetor.

Control theory was developed to analyze the functioning of centrifugal governors on steam engines.

In the late 19th century, the dial was refined to be operated by a recoil spring and centrifugal governor.

The engine depicted uses a centrifugal governor to control the speed of the engine.

A centrifugal governor is more complex to design and produce than a pneumatic governor.

They were used as a damping device to avoid over-sensitivity with centrifugal governors.

Centrifugal governors were used to regulate the distance and pressure between millstones in windmills since the 17th century.

In many windmills it is automated by adding a centrifugal governor to the tentering gear.

To accomplish this, the centrifugal governor is linked to a pair of cams, one for each admission valve.

Speed control with a centrifugal governor was used in automobiles as early as the 1910s, notably by Peerless.

Here governors refer to the governor or the centrifugal governor used to regulate steam engines.

However, a fly weight may also be used in other applications, such as for sensing rotation speed in centrifugal governors.

Earlier engines with Watt's centrifugal governor and throttle valve become inefficient when operating at low power.

A throttle valve to control the power of the engine, and a centrifugal governor, patented in 1788, to keep it from "running away" were very important.

A centrifugal governor opens and closes a two-blade exhaust valve (using over 50 parts)

Although the control of steam engines via a centrifugal governor dates back to Watt, this control was inadequate.

This mechanism was soon refined to include a recoil spring and a centrifugal governor to control the recoil speed.

The first mechanical tachometers were based on measuring the centrifugal force, similar to the operation of a centrifugal governor.
