The governor is of the self-contained type, and is de- design, and its construction is such as to make it one of themost sensitive on the market. The connection of this gov-ernor to the turbine is of a very simple construction. The. Fig. 5.—New Oil Pressure Governor and Outside Gate Rigging. signed for any operating conditions. Runaways are not pos-sible with this design. The hand power control is combinedwith this governor and is ready for connection at any mo-ment, without loss of time. No gears or racks of any kindare used with this governor. The oil pump is of ample C3- governor is designed in such a way that the turbine gatescan be operated either: 1st—By governor operated. 2nd—By hand hydraulically. 3rd—By hand mechanically.
