FIG. -SECTION OF ECCENTRIC RING FORMING PART OFSPEED LIMIT DEVICE Curtis turbine governor recently made available by theGeneral Electric Company.

In the ac-companying sectional view Fig. i, A is the moving weightwhich acts through the knife edges B to pull down the rod Cagainst the action of the heavy spring D. At £ a ball-bearing gimbal joint, thoroughly lubricated, forms a junc-tion point between the revolving mass of the turbine andthe stationary lever of the governor arm. The governor is provided with an auxiliary spring Ffor varying the speed when synchronizing. In larger ma-chines the adjustment of this spring can be made from theswitchboard by the small motor G. The movement of thegovernor arm is transmitted through levers to the pilotvalve of an oil cylinder containing the piston which oper-ates the main arm. The latter t
