Here it is, with 2D CAD plans produced with Draft-IT (and GIF images of the same) and my construction notes for download. The design is hand-cranked and lacking a valve lever because it was made as a retirement\/60th birthday gift and I ran out of time to complete the valve lever (I wanted to assemble the governor before dimensioning the lever).<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration for the design, and especially the proportions, came from Muncaster&#8217;s book and photographs I took of real governors.<\/p>\n<p>All of the downloads are covered by the same Creative Commons licence as everything else on this blog.
