Isochronous Governor:
- A governor is said to be isochronous when the equilibrium speed is constant (i.e. range of speed is zero) for all radii of rotation of the balls within the working range, neglecting friction.
- The isochronism is the stage of infinite sensitivity.
- A spring-loaded governor can only possibly be an Isochronous governor.
Hunting:
- If a governor is too sensitive, a small variation of speed causes large change in the sleeve movement. Thus, a governor is said to be hunt if the speed of the engine fluctuates continuously above and below the mean speed.
Stability:
- A governor is said to be stable when for each speed within the working range there is only one radius of rotation of the fly-ball at which governor is in equilibrium.
