silient strips 206, secured at their ends to a pair of end pieces 207 and 208, the former of which is fixed to the shaft 3 and the latter of which is fastened to a sleeve 209, mounted to 1265slide on said shaft. Weights 210 are attached to the strips 206, preferably at their centers. As the shaft 3 rotates these weights tend to fly out from the shaft, and the higher the speed the greater will be the movement of 1270said weights, and hence the greater the resistance to such rapid rotation, this regulator thus operating in all respects substantially as a mechanical governor for maintaining a uniform rotation of the armature—shaft. As these 1275weights fly outward of course the hub 208 and the sleeve 209 move inward toward the motor, and this movement is made use of to control a regulating-switch 195, pivoted on the upright 12. This switch normally rests 1280on a contact 213, and hence normally closes the motor-circuit through the path herinbefore described—that is, through the whole length of the regulating-switch 195. When however, the hub 208 and the sleeve 209 move 1285inward, the regulating-switch follows them and breaks the circuit at 213 and rests against a mechanical stop for the regulating-switch. Another path through a resistance 215, as 1290seen in said figure, is presented for the current when contact is broken at 213, and hence this regulator and its switch not only tend to keep the armature-speed constant but also slow down the same very materially in case 1295of a sudden abnormal acceleration in the speed, this slowing down being due to the passage of the current through said extra resistance 215.
