The 8 pages that link to Centrifugal governor, each with the reason it gives.

• AutomationBroader topic: Its use on steam engines established a landmark form of automatic mechanical control.

• Centrifugal forceBroader topic: Its balls move outward as rotation increases, providing a mechanical speed signal.

• James WattRelated: Watt applied governors to help engines maintain a steadier rotational speed.

• CentrifugeRelated: It converts rotation-driven movement into control, a different application of centrifugal effects.

• Circular motionBroader topic: Its rotating masses shift position as speed changes, controlling the engine's input.

• Fictitious forceRelated: Its mechanism responds to the apparent outward force in a rotating frame.

• Control engineeringBroader topic: Its feedback mechanism made steam-engine speed regulation a landmark control problem.

• Watt steam engineBroader topic: Watt engines used it to automatically steady the speed of rotary machinery.
