PNEUMATIC MID SPEED CONTROL A pneumatic
speed control is normally used on 3161 Governors on
vehicular engine arrangements to control the engine
speed. A pneumatic mid speed control is also used to
make the engine go from low idle to mid speed for
dynamic braking with the direct current generator and
drive motors.
This control is installed on the front of the governor.
With a lever fastened to the speed setting " control shaft,
the control cylinder sets the engine speed from low idle
to mid speed. The mid speed setting of the governor is
set by the position the control lever is fastened to the
speed setting control shaft.
