Abstract: 789. Withers, J. S., [Cox, K. C., and Dicketts, J. E.]. Jan. 10. Centrifugal governors. - A combined centrifugal governor and speed-setting device for an electric motor comprises a cam 11 which carries an indicating-pointer 18 and is adapted to be turned by a worm-wheel 13 and tangent screw 17 to depress a plunger 10 and vary the tension of a spring 6 opposing the action of the governor, the spring also serving to press an electric contact 7 into its closed position. The governor weights 1 act through bell-crank levers upon a vertically sliding rod 3, which at its upper end is cupped to engage with a stud 5 upon the contact-carrying arm 4. The limit speed to which the motor is controlled is determined by the compression of the spring 6, and is indicated by the position of the pointer 18 upon a calibrated dial 19. At speeds above the determined limit, the arm 4 is raised and the motor circuit broken. The arm 4 is looselv pivoted at 22 to a swivelling block pivoted at 21 so as to permit the contact 7 to move slightly in an horizontal plane and effect a rubbing engagement with the fixed contact upon the block 9. This movement of the contact 7 is produced by the rod 3, which is mounted slightly eccentrically and consequently gives a slight circular movement to the arm 4. THe dial 19 may be arranged vertically, in which case the cam 11 is provided with a square instead ot an inclined edge; or the dial may be horizontal, in which case the cam is of helical form.
