A centrifugal governor in close view: an upright spindle turned by bevel gears at its foot, two arms hinged at the top of the spindle hanging down on either side, a heavy brass ball at the lower end of each arm, the balls swung outward and upward by the spinning, two short links running from the arms down to a sleeve that slides on the spindle, the sleeve lifted as the balls fly out, a lever resting on the sleeve and the throttle linkage running away from it to the steam valve, the balls free on hinged arms.
