ENGINE STOPPING MECHANISM. If the governorbelt breaks, the weight N will drop, and through the system of levers and links throw the beli--^ crank lever B so as to shift the safety blocks on theknock-off cams of the valvegear and prevent the valvesfrom being opened by thegrab hooks. An auxiliary device is alsoprovided to act in the caseof racing. This consists ofa small centrifugal governorof the shaft type mounted in the belt wheel of the main weight w of this auxiUary governor is provided with a lip, which,in the event of abnormal speed, will be thrown outward so as to en-gage with a small Hp, O, on the end of the rocker arm shown. Theother end of this rocker arm is connected to a latch which normallyholds the throttle open. When the lip on the governor weight w en-glges the projection O, this latch is thrown, allowing the weight M to(lose the 96 STEAM POWER APPLIANCES. 212. SHIFTING ECCENTRIC
