🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed droop vs. idle / maximum speed adjustments in governors • How load limit (maximum fuel delivery) is usually implemented in a mechanical governor • What the illustration labels as high-speed stop, low-speed stop, and speed droop bracket / pin

💭 Think About

• From the labels in the diagram, which adjustments clearly limit engine SPEED, and which would limit the amount of FUEL the governor can send? • Which answer choices talk about TWO different kinds of limits (speed vs. fuel), and which talk about limits that are already covered by the variable governed-speed setting? • Look at what the Woodward SG type is commonly used for on tug winch engines: does it mainly need speed-range control, load control, or stability/load‑sharing control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify on the illustration where low-speed stop screw and high-speed stop screw act and what they control. • Locate the speed droop bracket / pin and consider what changing droop actually affects in governor behavior. • Ask: does the drawing show any separate load-limit or maximum fuel stop, or only mechanical SPEED stops and droop/compensation adjustments?
