n: on a mechanical engine governor, one of usually two small metal weights that spin as the engine runs. When the engine speeds up, centrifugal force on the spinning flyweights increases, which causes a spring to compress and slow the engine down. Conversely, when the engine slows down, centrifugal force on the flyweights decreases which causes the spring to expand and speed the engine up.
