Description:

Claim:

Our invention relates to that class of shifting eccentrics which are employed as governors for steam-engines, and which comprise in their construction means for giving to the main or valve operating eccentric an angular motion relative to the shaft upon which it is mounted, said means consisting in some instances of a carriage upon which said eccentric is secured, and both being slotted for the embracement of the shaft to permit angular movement of the carriage and eccentric, while in other instances the main eccentric. has been mounted upon a secondary eccentric; and in all instances above indicated centrifugal weights and counterbalancing-springs have been employed.
