Asin the steam engine itself, we find, doubtless, first aperiod of speculation, during which time theoreticalinvestigations were made and patents taken out, andthis period probably extended until about 1870; thencomes a period of application, beginning in a small 8 SHAFT GOVERNORS way perhaps with 1870 and extending through thenext fifteen years, during which time numerous appli-cations of various forms were made, tried with greateror less success, modified and improved until finally ahigh degree of perfection has been reached. The earlier form of governor and the one which isalmost exclusively used in England and other Europeancountries to-day was invented by James Watt, or atleast adapted for use on the steam engine by Wa
