Steam Engine Flyball Governor Scale Model
This flyball governor is made in three-inch scale, but would also work for two-inch scale. It has one-inch brass balls. The overall height is 10 inches and it is plumbed for 3/8" pipe. It is made from bronze castings and machined parts. There are a total of 36 individual parts that make up the governor, more than in an entire steam engine. Approximately 60 hours labor were required to produce this governor and it runs very well.
You can see the governor running on youtube. Here is the link: http:// /watch?v=4GZj3IzXmsE
