Application filed Hay 2i),

Be it known that I, Come BAILEY;

' a citizen of the United States, residing at details and Lansing, county of 'Ingham, State of Michigan, fhave invented certain'new and useful Improvements in Centrifugal Governors for Gasoline Engines, of 1s a speclficatlon.

This inventlon' relates to improvementsin which the following centrifugal governors for gasoline engines- Q'The main'object of the invention is to provide an 'elfective structure which can be conveniently adjusted to vary the speed when the engine is running.

'Further objects, and Ob]60l'.S relating to economies of construction and operation will definitely appear from the claims.

detailed description to follow.

The objects of the invention are accom-' "plished by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the A structure which is a preferred emhodi ment of the invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which: 4

The adjusting cap 15 fits'a bearing 15 in the hublike end of easing 1. The cap 15 has an oblique spiral groove 16 in its periphery. The adjusting cap is retained in position by the pointed screw 17, the point 18 of which engages and projects through the easing into the said spiral groove 16.
