There are many types of governors. There are simple RPM limiters; Chevy trucks with gas engines used to have one that limited the engine to 4000 rpm. Most farm and construction equipment have a "variable speed" governor. These do not try to hold the engine speed to a set rpm; rather they allow the engine to slow down a little under load. Stationary engines, such as generator sets, are likely to have a "constant speed" governor. These try to hold the engine speed to a very precise rpm, regardless of the load. Another interesting type of governor is the one used on propellor-driven aircraft. They have what is called a "constant speed" prop, and there's a separate control for the propellor speed. The pilot uses the throttle to adjust power (manifold pressure on a piston engine) and the propellor control to adjust rpm. The governor automatically adjusts the propellor pitch to maintain the selected rpm.
