3. Operation a) Centrifugal governor : This transmits by way of a pressure pad, to the control slide-valve, a force which varies with engine speed. With the engine stopped, this force corresponds to the calibration of the springs. When turned the weights fly outwards, compressing the springs until there is a state of balance between the centrifugal force and the spring pressure.
