Abstract: 173,086. British Thomson - Houston Co., Ltd., (General Electric Co.) Oct. 1, 1920. Automatic gear; hunting-gear. - A speed responsive device for controlling the throttle valve 9 of a mixed pressure turbine or other engine, comprises a gear or other pump 73 driven from the engine shaft and delivering fluid to a cylinder 67 at a pressure proportioned to the speed of the engine and determined by the setting of a special bypass valve 82. This valve comprises a conical valve 82 and a seating formed by a thin-edged orifice in a partition 85. The valve is adjusted by a hand-lever 88. A piston 66 in the cylinder 67 is held in its lower position, as shown, by a tension spring 70 and can be moved upward with a cover 69 by the fluid pressure. A lever 60 pivotally connected at 64 to the piston is supported upon a normally stationary pivot 79 and movement of the piston is communicated by a link 59 and a lever 58 to a piston valve 56. A valve 105 acts as a second by-pass to the cylinder 67 and is normally open. It is connected to the lever 60 so as to close when an increased pressure raises the piston 66 and to open when the piston falls. In that way, it accentuates any variation in the fluid pressure and causes a more rapid operation of the devices. The pivot 79 is carried by a spindle 78 of an emergency speed governor 77 and is moved downward by the governor when an excessive speed obtains. The piston valve 56 controls the admission of pressure fluid supplied from the speed-responsive pump system by way of a pipe 46 and cavity 43, to the back of a spring- pressed piston 34 which operates the throttle valve 9. A follow-up gear is provided by a link 64 and a lever 62 upon which the lever 58 is pivoted. In the case of a mixed pressure installation pressure fluid passes from the valve 56 to a cylinder 97 containing a piston 96 operating a valve 94 admitting low-pressure steam to an intermediate stage. A stop valve 8 is operated by a hand-lever 31.
