Abstract
THIS book is probably the only one in the English language which deals exclusively with governing, the subject being usually dealt with in text-books on prime movers. The author's aim has been to produce a book of essentials and principles, put in a form which will enable the reader to judge existing and future types of governors; there are no catalogue pictures. The author does not pretend to have covered the whole field of governing; thus the mathematical side has been restricted to the usual undergraduate standard; and he projects a further volume for the use of engineers who have to make governing a life study.
