Abstract
A speed regulator or governor for an engine. The governor utilizes the approximate digital equivalent of a lead and a lag feedback network in combination with a stored, digital, nonlinear look-up table, or other nonlinear means, to control engine speed. The governor controls the engine at different fixed engine speeds in response to demand, or at continuously variable engine speeds in response to demand.
