This 8558-345 Governor Control System also makes use of other standardized PG-PL Control Series hardware components, such as its centrifugal flyweight head-pilot assembly, its power cylinder assembly or servomotor, its governed systems compensation system, and finally its speed setting mechanism for governor speed that is fittingly described as pneumatic.
