 Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the amount of fuel admitted, so as to maintain a near constant speed whatever the load or fuel supply conditions.
As the speed of the prime mover increases, the central spindle of the governor rotates at a faster rate and the two masses move outwards, and this motion is translated by the series of rods and arms to the throttle valve, reducing its aperture.
The centrifugal governor is often used in the cognitive sciences as an example of a dynamic system, in which the representation of information cannot be clearly separated from the operations being applied to the representation.

 Governor (device) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor, which uses weights mounted on spring-loaded arms to determine how fast a shaft is spinning, and then uses proportional control to regulate the shaft speed.
At the heart of these engines was Watt’s self-designed “conical pendulum” governor, being a set of revolving steel balls attached to a vertical spindle by link arms, and where the controlling force consists of the weight of the balls.
During his Graduate school years at Yale, Gibbs observed that the operation of the device in practice was beset with the disadvantages of sluggishness and a tendency to overcorrect for the changes in speed it was supposed to control.
