Thanks, Jim. I'll try to find the article.
The governor is a fascinating example of a simple feedback device, if I understand the idea correctly. An aside: While most governors I have seen or seen pictures of have weights that are mounted on pivots, the Ford 9N, 2N and 8N had a wonderfully simple device with two balls that simply moved in and out in a disk with two slots cut in it (radially). The balls pushed up against a cup that slid back and forth a bit on the governor shaft. I imagine this would have avoided some of the wear that eventually occurred in the pivots of the conventional governors. Still, I expect the cup would get a groove in it at some point. I had a very well-used '42 2N in the 1990s, and even then, the governor seemed snappy and precise (didn"t know its history--could have been repaired prior to my purchase).
