Truely amazing engine, thank you for sharing this rarity Brent!

...That's the big question remaining in my mind--does this governor really have any control over amount of steam input, 'cut off' position, etc.? The German catalog description seems to imply that it does...


I am quite certain that the governor is functional, given the wording in the catalog.

Hard to believe they´d claim what they did, solely on the fact that it has a manual valve on the steamline?

Should anyone feel slightly "German impaired", they directly translated stated that:

"Originalsystem G.M & Co. with unmatched fully regulated steam flow and revolutions of the machine"
