The general arrangementof the governor is shown in accompanjing figure. The description of the 50 k. \v. engine applies tothe 100 k. w. engine, they being of the same generaldesign and type, with the exception of the governor of this engine is of a very simple con-struction. It is known as the Rites dumbbell gov-ernor, and is manufactured by the Union Iron Worksunder an agreement with the patentee. This gov-ernor can be adjusted so that it will make the enginerun at the same speed with the full load or no load, oreven several revolutions faster at full load than withthe load off. As space will not permit, will not en-deavor to discuss the characteristics of the governorfurther than to state that any further adjustments toincrease the full load speed more than that shown inthe regulation
