The speed sensing governor consists essentially of a rotating pilot valve, the flyweights, and the flyweight head.

The engine speed signal is transmitted from the engine-driven drive shaft through a gear train to the centrifugal-type flyweight governor. This governor controls movement of the speed servo (3-D cam) by displacing the rotating pilot valve from its hydraulic null position. When the speed changes, the flyweight force varies and the pilot valve is displaced, causing motion of the speed servo. This motion of the speed servo repositions the pilot valve, through the action of a feedback lever working on a spring, until the speed sensing governor returns to null at the new speed servo position. The position of the speed servo is, therefore indicative of actual engine speed. The 3-D cam is contoured to protect against the condition of a broken speed sensing drive shaft. In the event of such a failure, the speed servo bottoms in its bore while the push rod on the speed servo bottoms on an adjustable stop, set near the zero speed position, to eliminate feedback to the speed governor pilot valve. The 3-D cam then places the limiting linkage at the Wf/Ps4 ratio corresponding to the value selected for this failure condition. (5) Acceleration control is provided by adjustment of the roller positioning linkage. This
